My Father: Artibonite, Haiti

Both of my parents were raised in Artibonite, Haiti. My father was one of eight siblings. He was family orientated, smart, ambitious, caring, and funny. He was always searching for a better life for our family. In late 1980’s he found a way to migrate to the U.S where he then worked diligently to bring our family to the states. He spoke four different languages and was always smiling. Before my father passed away we had a strong bond, our sense of humor allowed us to communicate. When he was not working he enjoyed spending time with his family. My Mother is ambitious, disciplined, compassionate, and faithful. Throughout out my childhood my mother was the discipliner in the house. She was unable to receive a formal education in Haiti; she
worked as a farmer and saved money to buy books to educate herself. She love going to church and volunteering in church activities. My Mother and I have a great relationship. She is my number one supporter and an aspiration. Like my parents, I’m ambitious, I am determined to succeed in the medical field and rise above challenges. I care for others and treat them with respect and compassion.
