Cuban content creator Milenita, renowned for her charismatic presence on social media, garnered widespread praise after she gracefully responded to a derogatory remark questioning her medical education in Cuba.

Her response was powerful: "My people, it's Saturday afternoon, and I'd love to be at the beach, in a restaurant, or just out for a stroll, but I can't leave without finishing my school assignments. That's far more important to me because I'm shaping my future. While everyone enjoys their Saturdays, I've spent years studying and will continue to do so to reach my goals. Never forget your ambitions; do whatever it takes to achieve them. Only you can make a difference in your life."
She accompanied her message with a video where she is seen reading a lesson in English about different types of diabetes. At the end of the clip, she directly addresses the critic: "When you can write, read, and speak English like I can, then you can criticize me."
Milenita's reply not only silenced her critics but also earned applause from hundreds of followers who praised her perseverance, academic prowess, and positive attitude in the face of negativity.
