A Cuban woman residing in the United States took to TikTok to post an amusing video titled "Skills Gained in America." In the clip, user @janetvibes1 humorously shares the new habits she's picked up since moving to the U.S.
The video humorously highlights everyday scenarios that might resonate with many immigrants. Among the "skills" she describes is eating meals in the car due to the tight schedules and fast-paced lifestyle. Additionally, she portrays how her daily routine only allows her to return home to sleep, with strict timings: in bed by 10:00 p.m. and up at 6:00 a.m.
Furthermore, the Cuban woman mentions she has to manage her emotional well-being in just a short span—"30 minutes to cry," she notes, showing herself sitting on a terrace, appearing sorrowful. Another "skill" she mentions is becoming a master of laziness, as she uses her car for everything, even to cross the street to the store right next to her house.
The sarcastic tone and creativity of this Cuban woman have made her post a glimpse into the adaptations and challenges immigrants face daily, with a humorous twist that highlights resilience and adaptability.
