Profile

I am born in a tiny and very nice village in the South east of Haiti. My Dad passed away when I was 7. He was a wood worker, making a lot of nice tables, chairs etc. I remember him as a hard worker trying to help my family. Since his death my mom has had a hard time running the house since she is not working. She tried to start a small retail store but she had too much on her shoulders and could not make a profit. We are living from day to day praying we can get something on the table everyday.

I have a sister and five brothers, though now only three of us live in the house, since two of my brothers left the house trying to make their own living. My mom is having a lot of problems paying my tuition; I can not remember how many times I was called to the principal's office because of my late tuition. I hope I can keep going to school until I finish high school. I want to graduate and become a nurse or a doctor. I think I am smart enough to make it. My only problems are financial difficulties.
