Today Che is a symbol of struggle for many peoples and his example guides the battles of the oppressed peoples on the planet.

On October 8, 1967, wounded, with the gun broken by a shot, Commander Ernesto Che Guevara was arrested during the fight in the Bolivian ravine of El Yuro.

Those who killed him the next day in a small school in the town of La Higuera failed to believe that, with his physical elimination, the example and thought of the heroic guerrilla would disappear. In the end he multiplied in thousands with his ideas.

The new generations know about Che what we were told or  have read. Perhaps because of everything we know about him and his human thought, we want to be like him.

Not for pleasure someone born in Argentina is the guide of the newest generations of Cubans and it should be from the soul, from conviction and knowledge, so that repetition makes sense, so that words are not lost in the years.

We will be like Che, it is the phrase that since we were little we, the Cuban pioneers, repeat. Perhaps some are more like because the firmness, the well-aimed rebellion proper of youth, the longing for adventure, long hair or the desire to travel the world even on a motorcycle.

Others for going sick to study or work, to make more Homeland, for not believing in the limitations of life, for not getting tired of dreaming.

We will be like Che, like Fidel, like Camilo, like Martí, like the Centennial Generation, with the certainty that it is not impossible, because they too were like us.

Che took his internationalist ideas of freedom to Bolivian lands. Before, he contributed to the freedom of Cuba, helped to prepare the combatants in the Congo and now fought for the peoples of America.

His compensation will be the moral stimulus in collective and with the most divine caresses for the soul that we give ourselves when we look inside, we say: I am proud, happy of what I am, because I am a good woman, a good man, a good boy, a good teenager, a good young man. I am like Che.
