My Growing In Port-Au-Prince, Haiti

According to UNICEF, 22,000 children die each day due to poverty. Numerous amounts of people suffer in third world countries. In the future some people want to become rich, others want to be an athlete's. Something I would like to accomplish in the future, is to help people in third world countries because they need health care, I would be glad to see the results of my works, and they deserve just as much as everyone does.

In 1999, I left Haiti. Although it has been 16 years, I hold on to the memories for dear life. I lived in a city called Port de Paix, just a few hours away from the capital, which means it was quiet and peaceful; that was just wonderful. This essay will outline the wonderful memories of my childhood in Haiti.

Everyone has a past either good or bad and they’re the ones that decide how they are going to use it. I’ve always been so fascinated with people’s personal stories because I think our past, where we came from and what we have been through has a big impact on how we live our lives. My story is a unique one, I grew up in Haiti and I mostly remember about all the insecurity problems there, being scared that my parents got killed on their way back home from work, or me and my brother getting kidnapped one day. My story is different from everyone else’s, no one can tell it better than I can; but all of us at one point have experienced something in common and finding this person or this group of people

I have a lot of dreams. Dreams to change the world and do great things. My first dream is to receive my Bachelor of Science in Nursing, followed by working as a nurse for a few years to gain hands-on experience. Second, I intend to further my education by obtaining a Master’s degree and working on improving my skills, knowledge, and understandings of the nursing field. I want to be a nurse anesthetist. They administer anesthesia to patients. When I eventually retire, I intend on giving back to future generations of nurses by becoming a Nursing Instructor, educating them and watching them grow and develop into the best-equipped nurses they can be. As a result of my experiences in life, I am more mature, grounded, and I realize that even when

I want to use my education to help many people around the world who still needs helps. I want to help those people who are still struggling today in the non-wealthy area. Now, many people are living in places where there are doctors to help when to comes to health issues, but there are still some people out there in the non-wealthy area like in Laos who are studying every day. Some died because they didn’t know that there are other medicine other than their own culture kind of medicine. After I graduate from college I want to tell them that even in the Hmong Community, sometimes, the one who doesn’t know anything will have to come out of the comfort zone and lead the team. For example, in my family none of the girls go to college and there

When I entered school my parents refused to place me in the Spanish-speaking classroom. They feared the discrimination I would face as an immigrant segregated from Americans, a complexity that they combated everyday in their lives. No matter what my parents tried, they could not shake the feeling that they did not belong here. So much so that I was forced into an English speaking class with barely any knowledge of the language. Although I was scared at first, I was an obedient student and thus able to blend in like any American child, just like my parents wanted. After a couple years, I even began to give my father basic lessons in the English language during dinnertime, explaining to him the difference between hot dog and perro caliente. Somewhere between my effortful pronunciation and accidental commentary in English, I lost him. He exclaimed that he didn't need to know English, that I knew it well enough for the entire family. As the reality hit me, my

I immigrated to the US with my family six years ago. At that time, we had a hard time adapting to the new environment because of the new language and the differences in culture. During the first few weeks after I started school, I felt really frustrated at myself as my inadequate english skills were not good enough for me to communicate with my teachers and peers. However, my parents were the ones that suffered the most. The language barrier made it difficult for them to find jobs and get through their daily life tasks. I still remember vividly that one time when my dad and I went to a pharmacy to pick up his medications. He struggled to communicate with the pharmacist and recieved juding stares for his broken English. For the first time in

One of my primary goals in life is to inspire someone to keep trying, not to give and to not lose faith. This goal lead me to want to become a future Pediatric Nurse Practitioner or Pediatrician.Being be able to use my personal passions and skills to spread love, positivity, and faith to families and children will be a dream come true. Healing with

To recap my message from gallery, education or knowledge from life experiences if education is of reach along with hard work and dedication to achieving your aspirations and dream will get you there. We must also cherish the opportunity to help out others who need it so they can get where we are. We must fill our heart with love and not hate, and keep or mind sharp for yourself and others to use to keep humanity performing at its best with no

At the end of the day, I want to achieve my goal in becoming an anesthesiologist assistance. I understand that there will be bumps and hardships along the road there, but I am ambitious about my goal and I will try my best. I rather know that I have try and not give up my dream than regretting it later in life. Like people always says, if you fail try and try again until you succeed. I understand that part of life is about failing, I have to pick myself up and move forward and

While roaming through life’s path, have you ever found yourself trapped between two directions? This happens too frequently, but there are those who remain trapped and there are those who advance. I chose to be happy, in spite of the many challenges. I motivated myself to fight, even though it meant to feel weak. The person, who I am now, will never be who I was before. I have learned that true beauty doesn’t rely on faking a smile, but having reasons to smile and to dream. As a student, I have many goals, but my ultimate goal is to help people. Although I am limited in resources, I know that I can be well prepared to assist others. I strive to become a pediatric nurse, to not only work with children but their family as well. “For my purpose is not to be served, but to serve others”.

My future education goal is to major in Communication Sciences and Disorders and attend graduate school to become a Speech Language Pathologist. I also plan to travel throughout college and learn more about different cultures. Through the various short term abroad mission trips and local volunteering at the Place of Hope, I have discovered that education happens inside and outside of a classroom. Throughout my time in college, I hope to study abroad and continue to learn more about other cultures and the world that is around me. I believe that those who travel have a better grasp about what goes on in our world. By being more aware about the world, it creates a more grateful attitude and the desire for equality.

My parents, my brother and I came from Guatemala in 2000 the reason for our departure was to escape violence and misfortunes. My family suffered the kidnapping and murder of my nephew despite having paid a ransom of an immense amount of money. We had to leave our lives, property, and everything of value behind. In December of the year 2000 when we arrived to California, my English was below basic due to the minimum required study of the English language at the university in my home country. Although, I understood very little English at the time my determination to learn the language made persevere a better education.

While sitting in the halls of the hospital during one of the operations I realized for the first time how many lives are affected by misfortunes every day. Sitting there I knew that I wanted to help save lives and currently am preparing to attend pre-med this fall. My goal is to become the best pediatric neurosurgeon I can be. As an Entrepreneur I am greatly encouraged to continue making a difference in not only my community but all around the world. Although I have achieved a successful business and am determined to make even a greater difference one day I would love to extend Every Little Stitch to those in foreign countries. Harriet Tubman once said, “Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” It takes one person with many visions and tons of determination to create something successful and great that will change lives forever. Although others around me have created large and successful corporations I am not looking to become the richest person out there I only want to help make a difference in other’s lives. Even though I have not participated in sports and drama plays and do not have many achievements to choose from I have the determination to run a successful business and the vision to impact lives around the

I hope to accomplish these actions through my interests in and passion for the social sciences and humanities. Career options such as a politician, an attorney, or the creator of my own non-profit organization would be aspirational careers that would allow me to achieve my goals of aiding those in need and altering the environment I am in for the better. Even though I find my aspirations and myself to be extremely self-motivated, my family, especially my mother has a tremendous influence over what I wish to achieve and the changes I want to make in our world. Growing up, I saw how my mother, who immigrated to the United States from Nigeria, struggled to provide for me and my sister and I quickly understood that no one should have to suffer just to provide for their family. Having my mother and sister continue to support in anything I choose to pursue allowed me to have more confidence in myself giving me the ability to have goals that might be deemed impossible or too major for someone of my
