A Cuban dad has moved people on TikTok by sharing his daughter's success in Nebraska, United States, just nine months after arriving from Cuba. The user named @rolycubaton2 shared the video of his daughter receiving her achievement, demonstrating quick adaptation and academic excellence in her new school. It was a moment of pride for the Cuban father, who has not hesitated to publicly celebrate this important achievement of his little girl.

"Cuban girl wins award in Columbus, Nebraska, just 9 months after her arrival," says the video, which has moved many Cubans on social media who are starting a new life outside the island. Adapting to a new country is a challenge that involves learning a new language and culture, but despite the obstacles, this girl has managed to stand out through hard work.

A story shared by this Cuban dad that has sparked a flood of supportive messages and congratulations from the Cuban community on TikTok, where @rolycubaton2 also mentioned that he later found out there was another Cuban child in the group. "Congratulations to these children who are succeeding and putting the name of Cuba high," he said.

"Those are the Cubans who represent us. Blessings," "I cry with emotion! My oldest son won an award two years ago; he had only been in the country for a year, and they gave him an award signed by the president for being the most outstanding in his grade! What pride! Congratulations," "Wow, many congratulations, achievements like these are what make us Cubans unique wherever we are; we stand firm," "It makes me very emotional to see our children unlocking levels. Mine is in 11th grade and has already received letters from 4 universities due to her grades. Congratulations to your girl!!!," "Many congratulations, always raising our roots high; you will go far; if at just 9 months you already have an award, take advantage of it; I wish you the best," "Videos like this are not shared, and we need to make it happen; what gets shared the most are negative news stories; congratulations to that little girl," "Many blessings; the Cuban is unique; nothing is impossible for us; look, there's another example of how great we are," or "What pride and admiration I feel for that princess" are just some of the comments left for this Cuban, whose video is going viral on TikTok.
