{{cquote|I fell in love with Wikipedia in college. After hearing my political science teacher mention "Fenno's Paradox" I decided to research it on Wikipedia. To my surprise there was no article on this subject. So I took the leap and created my very first and only Wikipedia article. |
|||
My simple article was a fledgling, and was immediately flagged as not having a source. After checking my article for a week, I forgot about it and ignored it like all good parents do. |
|||
Years later I have returned to my article to see that it has flourished with many revisions. In this moment my heart was touched. Wikipedia had shown me special; My poor initial work was polished and made presentable by others. This is a representation of the true uniqueness that Wikipedia embodies. |
|||
Thank you for providing such an amazing space for ideas. I wish that Wikipedia forever has a strong place on the internet.}} |

{{cquote|I am a Cuban/American who arrived in this Country in 1960. From that moment on I knew I had to find a job to help my parents. A month later I found a job as a clerk in a cargo company. I would take the buss everyday and bring a dictionary to find words and their interpretations in an effort to improve my English. |
