Arizona UPS driver, originally from Cuba, celebrates his 'first American paycheck'
Ever since Yoel Diaz moved to America from Cuba, his wife Marissa Diaz has been documenting some key experiences in this country.
This includes his first trip to a grocery store, the first time he walked into a Wal-Mart and most recently, the first time he received a paycheck from the first job he's held in America.
The celebratory moment that his wife captured and posted on Instagram has been viewed there more than three million times.
"It was a very special moment for him," Marissa Diaz of Pheonix, Arizona, told Fox News Digital about her husband.
Yoel Diaz, 37, started a seasonal job at United Parcel Service (UPS) a few weeks ago, his wife said.
He received his first paycheck last week.

Iâ€ve seen a few of this couples†videos. Seems like a genuinely good guy, but I will say, he left his daughter in Cuba. He has the intention of getting her to the US some day, but still seems odd.

Cuban Americans are AWESOME, so are Colombian.
Nearly every one that I've met is a capitalist conservative

As a parent I could have never left my child for long periods of time and never did for longer than a week tops.
Crazy man its been nearly 7 months since that horrific day.
However a lot of foreigners will immigrate here to make money and send it back home and/or save to bring them too at a later time

I mean, I understand he wants to try to get his daughter a better life, but just leaving her seems weird to me.

Is he a driver as a seasonal employee?Â
You seem to know a lot about this. You ever work for UPS.

Just a few UPS drivers. They all started in loading and had to work their way to driver. But, different regions may have different paths.

Fair enough. I'd bet he is what they consider a driver-helper. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. Cool story regardless.

What's the point of the story and why is it news?
