Short Story
In El Salvador āDez witnessed events that, as most Latin-Americans have experienced, robbed him of his innocence and opened his eyes to the unfortunate reality that comes from politically motivated atrocities.
Shortly after, he and his parents escaped to Canada as political refugees and were finally granted citizenship in the āGreat Northā. Dez realized that he was blessed to have been granted asylum that so many back home prayed for, and that many more trying to escape died for.
āDez was taught by his community that as a minority he needs to work twice as hard earn the same respect and earnings that were so easily achieved by the majority. Since then, he has felt indebted to his people and has made it his lifeās objective to speak on behalf of the voiceless youths of Latin America who too frequently are pawns in the game of political warfare.
