Have you ever loved someone so much, you’d give an arm for them? Not the expression, no literally give an arm for? Growing up in Haiti with my brother, I remember teasing and pushing him around, because thats what big brothers are supposed to do. One of the things I remember most vividly about him was waking up every morning to play soccer with a tennis ball we found, and racing each other all through town with our hands behind our backs pretending we were cars. Everyday wasn’t always perfect, like those days we spent chasing each other because we fought, just like all siblings, and I didn't always appreciate having a younger brother.…
Living in Haiti was the home I really knew the best, where my mother lived in a three-bedroom house next to her mother, where she grow crops and raise animals, which was fun caused I learned so many things from my grandmother. I lived in Haiti for 10 years until one unexpecting day when I was being told that I was going…
Haiti, the poorest country in the world, with over half of the population living in extreme poverty, is in desperate need of help (“Poverty in Haiti: Aid, Earthquakes, and Imperialism”). The level of poverty in Haiti is so high that it stands out from the other countries in Latin America. Because of extreme poverty, children are often separated from their families and end up living in orphanages. Many Haitians live on the streets with no access to clean water, and do not have the money nor the resources to overcome poverty (“Top 5 Facts about Poverty in Haiti”). Throughout history and today, Haitians have lived in poverty with small chance of being able to provide for themselves and their families, but organizations such as KORE…
One significant event in my life was when I traveled to the Dominican Republic to see family. I had never been to another country before, and I was nervous and excited at the same time. I was curious to learn about the different culture. When my family and I arrived, my Aunt Melania greeted us with warm hugs and kisses. Overall, I feel as if my vacation to the Dominican was a good learning experience for me.…

This was the start of my passion to travel around the world. One memorable trip was one that I took with my family to Vietnam when I was twelve. Life was so different there compared to the one I have at home. From the lifestyle, people, culture, tradition, and even the environment. It was definitely amazing to see the world with new eyes and a different perspective.…
Growing up, I have met a lot of people, had a lot of experiences and memories. Some were enjoyable, fun, and some were stressful, but my favorite memory was coming to America. Moving from Africa to America made me a better person and taught me to understand people better. It gave me opportunities to change my lifestyle, be around others that are different from me, and expand my education. One memory that tops all memories was coming to the United States.…
Nutrition status Malnutrition has long been a serious public health issue in Haiti. Access to nutritious food remains an issue for millions of Haitians. Haiti is a food deficit country and relies heavily on imported food. Hunger, poor nutrition and food insecurities affect a significant portion of Haiti’s population, resulting in underweight and micronutrient deficiencies. The main cause of nutritional problems in Haiti is poverty, which is exacerbated by Haiti’s low food production, high global food prices and the devastating natural disasters.…
Out of all the multifarious places I have traveled, the Bahamas was by far my favorite trip. I have yet figured out what made the trip so special it is among the beautiful sights I saw during my trip or the even beautiful souls I spent the trip with; my high school basketball team. We went to the Bahamas with one mission, to win the entire tournament; but we accomplished much more. We bonded with one another and experienced a once in a lifetime opportunity. The memories that I made during my trip will forever be in the back of my mind.…
My favorite dish was made with all types of vegetable blend together mixed with beef meat, anyone can smell the foods, cooking from miles away the food is super tasty, in my opinion Haiti has the most natural ingredients ever because it was one meal that neither I nor my taste buds would ever forget. Moreover, the culture of Haiti is warm and natural. The buildings were also an incredible sight, each street was crammed with buildings that were built side by side with no room between those and the transportation was many more ways for one to get to another destination such as bike, car, taxi, buses or even walking was perfectly suitable for getting around. they are so generous; their traditions of hospitality are clear in how they treat guests or go out of their way to help strangers find an address or something else they need.…
It was an early Monday morning, I was pretty happy at the time because this trip was going to get me out of a full week of school. So, it all began at the airport, looking out of the window I could see our plane, It was a bit intimidating and I was really nervous because this was going to be my first time on a plane. Nevertheless, I had nothing to worry about though because soon enough I would come to realize that, the time I would be spending in Puerto Rico would teach me to truly enjoy the great experiences in life. So we were off, I could not wait to begin my adventure in Puerto Rico and meet all the amazing new people. When my grandmother and I landed in Puerto Rico I had no idea what I was in for, we planned the trip last minute and had no plans when we got there, or so that's what I anticipated.…
Last year during our spring break in high school me and a group of friends decided that we go on a road trip. At first we didn’t know where we were going to go but finally decided on going to Virginia Beach. We planned on staying for 5 days and then drove back up to New York. During this trip we had a lot of interesting things happen, especially to the car.…
The Camping Trip During the summer after my fifth grade school year had ended, I went on one of the worst camping trips in my life. It was sometime during the 2nd week of June. I was looking forward to this trip because all of my family was going. I mean everyone was going, my grandma & grandpa, my aunts & uncles, and my cousins. The year before not many of my family went, so that’s why I was looking forward to this camping trip.…
