hiding in the dark but he is like the moon he follows every step that I made. In the morning, I attempted to leave through the front door, but the door would not open. It is like I am locked inside a cell. I had my first nightmare with the English language when I was in 6th grade. I remember clearly what occurred. It was a sunny day when my teacher uttered in the class” Rosia, can you please read the next reading passage for me?” I bite my tongue so hard until it bled. I was saying in my mind…

Memoir When it comes it reading, it is something that I often cherish and embrace. However, I have faced many obstacles to have the reading capability I have today. From humble beginnings, I was muted and was unable to speak my native language Creole or English. Which resulted in some delays in reading development. Once my family and I arrived to the United States it was difficult to adapt to our new setting due to knowing English or us not speaking. During my school days, I had to take…

It is important to know what language is being spoken because you will be able to look up words or phrases that you will need to ask or respond to. In Haiti their languages are Creole and French according to the 1987 constitution. Haitians are beautiful people. Not only because I am Haitian but learning that Haitians have great hospitality and know how to treat people was great to know where I get it from. There are several…

The Haitian revolution transpired when a man named Toussaint L'Ouverture. Toussaint learned to speak both French and his native African language, and learned to read. In other words L'Ouverture was enlightened, his intelligence and military skills earned him the place as a leader of the revolution. Haiti became France's wealthiest…

would still have my wallets if I did if I did not trust her in the first place. But if I could have one do-over, I would like to go back to my childhood, and retain more of my Haitian culture. Growing up, I really did not make that much of an effort to learn about my family’s culture. I did not care about the food, the language the stories, not much…

English dialects, creoles, and accents. However, not all of these students are aware of the differences between their way of speaking and Standard American English or SAE. Although one’s English dialect or creole is valuable and functional in their home and community, increasing one’s proficiency in SAE for use in the educational setting will add to their “toolkit” of skills but may also require support. Explanation of Standard Language, Dialects, and Creoles Standard Language A standard form…

However, the French language “prevails among the elite and in government.” This division symbolizes a “social class and a barrier to the less educated and the poor.” In Haiti, the national dish is rice and beans, and their staple foods are sweet potatoes, yams, corn, pigeon peas, bread, and coffee. They mainly eat two meals a day, which consist of a light breakfast and a meal in the afternoon. Haitians eat fruits between meals and have a nightly snack as well. Haiti is the “poorest country” in…

I, Christina Belizaire, is a 14-year-old Haitian-American who is currently a freshman in High School. I have four older siblings (one brother and three sisters) and an aunt to 3 girls. The language other than English that I know and speak is Haitian-Creole. I guess I am an egalitarian because I believe everyone is equal and deserves the same opportunities as others no matter what race you are, what religion you practice, gender, your sexual orientation, and etc. The word “standard” have…

I view myself as being independent and very capable. I know that gender stereotypes can influence how a woman specifically views herself in terms of being successful in what is deemed as masculine roles or leadership positions (Davis et al, 2005). Therefore, I am even more thankful to my family for not pushing those implicit rules into me but for allowing me to grow into a strong person. I have had to fix my worldview because I realized that women or girls in developing countries are not always…

specifically the Gilman Scholarship. I will also take advantage of the fact that Hood College requires students to take a foreign language for 2 semesters, therefore, studying abroad in the summer is a perfect way to meet those requirements while gaining eclectic experiences. Since I am going to continue to and have previously taken Spanish abroad, I will focus on that particular language. I have already been to Alicante, Spain; where, I learned many dialects and types of Spanish spoken abroad.…
