1.If you could make one rule that everyone in the world had to follow, what would it be?
I enjoyed going to Saut D'eau with my parents in Hinche (my father's hometown) where my Grandpa used to live. I enjoyed the stories Grandpa would tell me. Best Grandpa ever!
2.If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
At 11 years old, I taught Sunday school at church to 5-10 year olds while living in Jacmel. It has always been a dream of mine to continue teaching others.
3.When do you feel a child or teen becomes an adult?
Because of political problems in Haiti, we moved from Port-Au-Prince to Jacmel. It was difficult for me to move from where I was born to a town with no friends. The hardest part was not saying goodbye to my friends.
4.What do you feel you have learned in life that will be the most useful?
I realize how important it is to speak english when I went to Jamaica. I went with my older sister to Jamaica. It was my first trip outside of Haiti. It was interesting to go there and meet black people who spoke another language and who had a different culture. It was a memorable experience and now I want to travel everywhere.
5.What do you feel is the hardest job in the world and why?
I come from a wonderful family. I am the third of five children and I know what it is to be taken care of and how to take care of others. There was no shouting and fighting in my family. After dinner we would all gather together and my father would read to us or tell us stories and then put us all to bed. I am so fortunate to grow upon such a family.
