After a seven-hour drive, Bobby and I returned from Port Salut in the southern part of Haiti. I was born in Florida and have been there all my life until we moved here to Haiti. I thought I knew hurricanes, but after seeing what we saw these last two days, I can say one thing, “You don’t ever want to get too close to the eye of a hurricane. Leave and go far away!” Please remember these words. Our hearts have been broken by the tragedy that these poor people have experience. We will be taking more food, water, and our Mobile Medical team to help these poor

    Personal Narrative: St. Lucia

    At the age of 21, having her first daughter, my mother did not have an education beyond the sixth grade. Three years later we were abandoned by my fleeing father to fend for ourselves in a small and rural community. Growing up on the small Caribbean island of St. Lucia, my mother struggled for many years to support her small family. Four years ago, we made our way to Florida, along with my younger sister, where we resided with friends. Although I graduated high school in St. Lucia, my mother did not have the finances to aid with my college expenses, thus she insisted that I again attend high school to provide her with ample time to obtain some form of income.…

    Personal Narrative: No Haitians

    As a Florida House Representative when I took my oath of office I made the commitment to be the indefatigable voice of the voiceless, a pillar of Justice, and the irrefutable defender of my constituents; and when I received notice of the “No Haitians” need apply ad in the RockLand County’s Penny Saver I was disgusted and outraged. I am not only a State Representative, I am Haitian, a nurse of 30 plus years with a license in Florida , and I represent District 108, which happens to be the largest Haitian populated districts in Miami Dade County, so for me this is personal. I cannot fathom that in the 21st Century we are still continuing to deal with violations of civil, human, and constitutional right. This ad is shameful and cannot be tossed…

    Personal Narrative: Growing Up In Haiti

    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.…

    Personal Narrative: The Pain

    The pain began slowly, pricking me with its sharp needles only while doing barre in ballet once a week. I ignored it, believing it to be normal, common discomfort that would soon go away, typical thoughts of a dancer whose entire sport is centered around “good pain”. Six months later, it had escalated to the degree that every step I took felt like an arrow to my knee. Dancing had become impossible, and it was determined that I should be taken to the orthopedist. The bland, brown and beige lobby became extraordinarily familiar as I waited two hours to be examined.…

    Personal Narrative: My Life In Haiti

    My life was changed forever when I decided to go with a group from my church on a mission trip to host a bible school in Croix des Bouquets, Haiti. I had been warned prior to going that it would change my life in a drastic way, but no one could have prepared me for the amount of brokenness and heartbreak I would witness. Flying into Port au Prince, even from the air I could see that the homes were dilapidated, and the ones that weren’t, were pretty close to falling apart. I could see trash and pollution in the ocean and piled up on the land, and debris still left over from the earthquake that happened in 2010. Landing in the airport was nerve-wracking.…
