Today i was off at work.my brother,my mother ,my sister in law and i went to church at 8 am we came back at 11pm.I made the dinner and i washed the dishes because i didn't want my mom to do anything in her special day.we gave her the presents she was verry happy to see them.She gave us a lot of kisses.My brothed invitrd her to a restaurant''red lobster''because she loves sea food.she was so exited it was imposible to her to stop crying..she was so wonderful.I pay God to give me strengh to take care of her .she's my queen she represent so many good things in my life.

my brother and,i  tried to find a good present for my mom.we went to many stores,finally we found something not too bad for her and, we thought  she will love her presents.Mother is a better thing that everybody should have,should honor and respect . She gave us everything we need .and, she always stays  by our side it does't matter if we are marry or not.She taught us how to be on our own way.Even though the father didn't want to take care of us  but, our mother never said, ''i dont want my kids or i dont want to take care of  them''.May God protect all of the  mothers in this world.May all mothers listen for this beautiful song.Once again happy mothers day for all the mothers.

When i came back to school one of my friends taught me how to drive.I was very nervous ,behind me a lot of cars were waiting for me to go straight.I made a left turn and,i forgot tu put my left signal.My friend told me to calm down because i was out of control.she told me to stop the car to show me how  to control the steer wheels. Unfortunately,i pressed the gas instead the brake i screamed because i thought we were going to die.Finally i stopped the car .then,she told me i dont have to be scared because i have to control the car not letting the car to controle me.we spent 1 hours to drive.After that i went to work.I will do my best for the next time to be better than today.i need to know how to drive no matter what i suppose to make it.

i'm tired

Today when i came back to school i had a lot of chores to do at home.At 3 o'clock i went to work,and i suppose to do mark down after 2 hours i took all the returns because the store was very busy.The store was close at 9 pm and, i got home at 9:45.I was so happy because i thought i went to take a rest.Unfortunately,i found my cousin at home she came to visit us  and, she needed our help to do some haitian liquors for her for her daughter's first communion.I was exausted,my feet hurted me and, i felt like i dying.I just take a break to do my homework i dont know what time i will go to bed because there is a lot of things left.

I have never got chance to go to the writin center since the semester started, but today i finally had the chance to go.At first,i was very nervous about it,but when i went , it wasn't what i thought it would be.The professors helped me , and they was very nice .I only went today ,and i felt already comfortable.E verything seem to be easy to me and also fun.Now i have more time i will not waste my time by not going to the writing center even though the semester is almost over.I'am so proud of all the professors in this school because they take their time to teach us whatever we need to learn.

Today wasn't  a wonderful day for me.I went to work this morning, and there was a young girl who was acting like she needed my help.She took all my time by asking questions that did not make any sense . Then she went to the shoes department and made me look for a pair of shoes that she was not even going to buy. i found them for her and then i went back to the register.  While I was helping another customer, I heard a lot of noise in the shoe department. So I went to see what was going on. When I got there, i saw the security taking the young girl outside because she was stealing in the shoe department. I was mad only because she took my time for no reason. She did not want to buy anything. After all, she deserved what ever the police did to her because at her age, she could have got a little job and get herself what ever she wanted. It would have been better than stealing. I hope that she learned her lesson and I hope that she will never try to steal anything from anybody again.

There is a popular singer in my country whom i really love.Today one of my friends invited in her cousine's daughter first communion surprising it was the singer's son first communion.i was very nervous because i couldn't believe my eyes he sang to  beautiful songs,and i danced for all the party.He gave me his autograph,and we ate together.At the end of the party he gave a speech to thank us for coming.His son danced with me i really had a great time.Since yesterday i didn't stop to enjoy myself.We came back home at 10:30 pm and,i explained that to my mom she said ''i imagine how exited you was, because i know you really love this singer'',yes i was ,and i ll have a wonderful night.This is one of his songs listen carefully.

My journey was joyfull by participing in the party it made me forget my pain a little bit about yesterday.I enjoyed myself with my classmate,we took pictures together especially with my teacher.I will never forget this day.I went to work at four and,i felt like i always was in the party.My manager told me why i was so happy i  responded her by saying i enjoyed myself today.then,i realized when you are so happy everything bad goes away because today i forgot all my stresses ,and i stayed happy for all my journey.I thank all the teachers who were prepared this beautiful party because it was also a miracle for my life.

Tornado in my country

Today at 7 o'clock my father called me to let me know what happened to Haiti this afternoon.he told me when  he came back to work it started raining after a while it was unable to him to stay stand up.Some people started to cry and said,''God help us''others ran on the street they didnt know where to go.thirty minutes later they knew it was a tornado.I thank God because he saves aigain my family's life ,but i was sad because too much for my little country .I think the world going to be ending soon.Only God can help us.I hope nothing else not going to happen to haiti because i will die by thinking of  my father ,and the rest of my familly who are still live there.God have a mercy please......

 Today before i went to work my mom told me to prepare the dinner .while i wached the dishes i heard something strange into the closet. I walked to the closet to hear better what's going on .I heard a lot of noise i was so scared i couldn't take the phone to call my brother or my mom.I stayed past twenty minutes to the corner hoping somebody goind to ring the bell.Fortunately ,my brother came ,and he told me what happened ,i told him may be there was a ghost in the house because i heard a lot of noise into the closet.He approched me ,and he said,'' are you insane ,this house is safe ''.He even laughed because it was his cat ,he bought it today.then he put the cat into the closet by purpose just to make me scared.I was very mad at him .

My surprise

I was off today i went to the beauty supply with my sister in law to buy some good treatements for our hair.Suddenly , i received a call from my mom she told me to come back home as soon as possible because she really need me.I was so nervous because i needed to know what happened.After a while she called me again .my sister and i took a taxi to get home quickly.When i opened the door  i heard my brother said ,'' Marie will be happy for her present''.I walked more faster to see  what they were talking about.my mom saw me ,and she said'' i have something for you''.i said '' please tell me what it is''.She said ,'' go outside into the driveway you going to see your present''.without thinking i ran outside ,and i saw a beautiful ,black car .She was behind me and she gave me the key.I was so exited i gave her a hug, and i thank her a lot.Unfortunately i don't know how to drive yet,but my brother going to teach me soon.

My transformation

I am working in burlington coat factory.I've been working there for almost a year.My work there is to help the customers find whatever they are looking for. I went to work,the manager in chief called me,and surprisingly gave me a promotion.He gave me a job to work as a cashier,customers service.It pays better than the job i had 24 hours ago.Well that promotion made my day.It was something to me.after all of my hard work,i learned that in the life you should never give up no matter how hard the work are because you wont regret you hard work in the future.

I'm proud of me

Today ,i went to my friend's house to celebrate her aunt second marriage anniversary.My friend's uncle did a great speech i understood everything, and he corrected some errors he made.After a while,i realized it was very good to know how to correct yourself .then,there was a wonderful party i met so many people ,and we play together just to make fun.My friend's aunt was little sad because her mother couldn't come because she was sick.The most interesting thing was when my friend's aunt said to me,''marie i don't want children now because i am a new married''. We from the same country ,and she tried to translate french to english.I was so happy to helped her by saying,''don't say new married,newlywed is better''.she thanks me and she said that to other people in the correct form.That made me proud of me because i can help now.I have to thank you miss Elaine.

Today i was so happy for my result about the biopsy.The doctor told me i had only a little inflammation on my upper lung.for some reasons i was born with this kind of thing.There's nothing bad about it.he gave me some medicines.Then,he said i don't have to be scare because everything was perfect.I was so happy that i cannot control myself by saying''thanks God for everything'' .My mom ,and the rest of my family were also happy.Now i'm feel healthy without thinking i'll die tomorrow.Thank you dear God.

I just want to talk a little bit about a kind of surgery ''Biopsy'' i had last friday.I was so anxious the doctor gave me something to make me sleep.I cannot say anything about it because i didn't feel anything while the doctor did it.When i woke up  i felt so many pain in my back .The nurse gave me some medications.I came back home yesterday in the afternoon .They don't give me the results yet.i'm so scared because i dont know what wrong with my right lung.Everything was well about the biopsy i hope by the name of God the results will be also well.May God bless me.

In my life I have traveled to many beautiful places. Most of them,I can't remember, but one place I could never forget is  Santiago. I went there when I was 15 years old with my family,and my best friend.The country was very warm, it is also the same thing as my country. The only difference is that the people over there speak different language. My friend and I loved to go to their beach. We also liked to drink coconuts at the beach. We were already familiar to those things back in our country, we only wanted to see how it was in another country. Everything pretty much were exactly the same. I could never forget that place because it was the one of the country i went and everybody welcomed me and my friend,and my family with their heart. They took us as family. When I was there, I felt like I was home.

Today i watched a beautiful movie .The name was ''DAVE DAS''.It was a kind of Indian movie.The story was about two family .They were different each other because one was a rich family ,the other one was poor.Their children fell in love.Unfortunately,the rich parents didn't want their son to marry the poor parents' daughter.Then the rich parents  humiliated the poor parents.Therefore ,the poor parents didn't want their daughter to see the guy anymore,but they were still in love.The girl married a rich man,and the guy cannot stop cry .The girl was so confuse and both of them live a difficult life.The worst thing was the death of the guy.He was out of controle by drinking too much and one day he came in front of the girl's house, and he pass out after he saw the girl.The movie was so sad.I think a lot of parents have to learn about this story because this kind of thing happen every day .

Yesterday i went to the hospital to do a ppd test that i have to do every year.while i was waiting for the result of the ppd test the doctor asked me to come in his room.he showed me something that i didn't understand and told me to do a casking test.I was so nervous and scared because i would like to know what was it.After 2 hours the nurse took my vital signs because i was so anxious and she gave me something to drink.Finally the doctor called me again ,and he showed me the result of the casking test.There is a 1.7 cm ill-defined nodule in the posterior right of my lung.Then he told me it must be a kind of cancer.Now i have to do a biopsie to certified what is it because the doctor wants to give me the good explanation as possible.I even cried yesterday,my mom and the rest of my family were out of controle.I hope God going to do a miracle for me because i think i need my life it is to early for me to pass out.May God bless me all the time ...

Yesterday was my sister in law's birthday. we went somewhere to celebrate her birthday.Suddenly she received a call from her mother who in Haiti and she told my sister in law that her brother had an horrible accident they dont know if he going to survive.Unfortunately she cannot stay anymore to celebrate because she became so sad and started to cry.She decided to go back to Haiti by tuesday to see her brother.that was so sad because it was her birthday then she received a bad news like that.i dont know why this month always bring sadness in my house.First, was about my grandmother .Second i fainted.Third about my sister in law's brother.I hope one day God going to give us a better life without sadness.

my worst day

Yesterday was a bad day for me .It was the worst day ever.The reasons why it was a horrible day for ,me are because yesterday morning when i woke up i wasn't feeling good.Iwent to a doctor because the way my body felt was bizare and weird.When i got there,the doctor asked me some questions and he also checked me up .Then he told me to stay home for two days and take some rest because my body needed it ,but i didn't really listen to him because i had to go to school .After when i really think about it ,the doctor was right because the reason why i was fainted is because i don't really have time to sleep. I spent my whole time working . So i think these are the reason why  i  am really sick because i didn't take a time for me or to take care of my health.

thursday night my mother's aunt called my mom to let her knew  my grandmother  was sick. two hours later my cousin sent me a text message and she wrote the ambulance just came to take my grandmother's corpe.I even cried my mother was suspicious and told me what's happened icannot say anything to her she took my cell phone, she read the message then she realized her mother was died.that was so sad i always feel this sadness .the worst thing is i won't be abble to go to her funeral because i cannot miss another class day.She was 67 years old and i loved her so much.Idont know when i will stop crying but now i really can't .I miss her so much.

Today , i went out and i saw a lot of people wearning green.It was little bizare to me because  i didn't understand why i saw so much green! so i asked my friend why do i see most people wearning green? they told me that it is saint patrick day.they said to me that on saint patrick day a lot of people wear green.My friends werw also wearning green.To me it was kind of funny. I mean,i wasn't making fun of their holiday because i respect that.It was funny to me because when.I asked them why they celebrate saint patrick, they could't answer.So i found out that most people do it because others do it too.But i still respect that .
  

this afternoon i found myself having a conversation with some friends in my work.then I thought about a month ago i couldn't have a long conversation in english. I was very proud of myself for learning it that fast, i don't even have a lot of time in the school and i am cathing it very fast. when I really think about it, the reason why i get it so fast is because of my friends are always forcing me to speak in english.when i refused, they ignored me.so they really help me.and mrs Elaine i would like to thank you for your passion with me because you really help me when i make mistakes in my writing and I know i make a lots of mistakes.By the way, writing this blog helps me too,even though I don't write it everyday,it really helps me.I'm sorry for that.I will make it up . Have a wonderful night :)

i was so happy today because i saw on tv ''fall'' is coming soon.I really don't like winter because it is to cold and it is imposible to wear anything you want .In my country, we have only hot temperarure that the reason it is verry har for me when i just came to the USA.i told my mom if the wheater going  to change one day.She said yes that will be happen,and i was so exited to see the summer.i can't wait for this summer go over because i really need my real weather  and go on the street  without a Jacket on.
.

I have always thought that english very hard to learn.When i starting to learn it i realize  it was not  as hard as i thought but the best think is practice speaking with someone who speak english well and this person going to help you to corect your maistakes.I found out that if youknow the rules and the meaning of the words,you can easily communicate to others.When i came to the USA i thought it going to take me a lot of years to say something in english.After those 6week s at ncc i really can make a different between before and after.I will always be thankful to you miss Elaine.To tell you thruth,writing the blogs really help me.Unfortunately, it is hard to me to write each day because i came back to work very late and go throughtout my homework that's the reason i always did my blog at this time.I hope i'll able to speak english well.

When i did my research today i was so surprised.I didn't know if one of my country's monuments was collapse because the journalists didn't really talk about it.The last time i went to Fort-jacques was on february 11th 2004 with my school.when The teachers explained us the story,it was more understandable than when we were in class because as they talked they showed us the things.we spent 5 hours together and we had a lot of fun.The special thing was ,on monday the teachers gave us a text to talk about this monument. Almost everybody failled the test because we didn't really paid attention in what they said but we got more interest in what we saw and the freedom over there.Today i was so sad when i saw that.I never thought in my whole life as haitien i visited  Fort Jacques only once in my life.

I remember how excited i was when I visited the Statue of Liberty. To me, it represents the spirit of America. Before I came to the United State i always want to visit this monument that i saw on TV. I have realized that the most beauty of America is all those wonderful monuments and  the freedom. Most of the people I met here are so amazing. I took my cousins and my brother to see the Statue of Liberty last summer. My cousins came from Paris to visit me. They wanted to visit some monuments in America. One of the monuments I took them to see was the Lady of liberty. They took so many photos of the statue. Without too many words, I still could feel their excitement and admiration. It was my first time i get into a boat i was scared but my motive was to reach my destination.we had a lot of fun and i hope to go there again.

 

 

My first communion

I dont really know what to write about anymore.let me just go back in the days when i was 8, the day i had my holy communion.well to me,as a little kids that days was the most brilliant day in my life.but before i receive my first communion,i had to study a big book which contained a lot of catechism.i wanted to communate so badly that I neglected all of my lessons to study the catechism book. so I started goind very bad in my classes and getting good grades in my bible class. one day, the principle called my mother and told her that i am failing the class. My mother was very angrry at me.she took my catechism book and ripped it apart. after she told me that i will not receive my first communion until I passed all the classes. I started crying. But after when i saw that she was really serious about it.
 I decided to study all my lessons without the catechism book. Fortunately, I passed the class. So my mother let me received my first communion. My mother made a big party for me. It was such as a wedding.I was very exited. I have never forgot that day and i never will.

Today was my first day in my CNA CLASS .The things didn't turn out for me the way i thought it would have. The class was harder than what i have expected. The teacher gave me 7 chapters of homework. I'm  still not done at this time i just take take a break to write my blog. I haven't been tired like that in a long time.I can't remember a last time i had a good sleep .but oh well! i guess i will have to get use to it because it's my life. I know for a fact before i will be able to relax .I will have to go through a lot of things in my life .

I had an horrible day today.I personnaly had to wake up early at five to read some pages in the  bible because i had to present something in the church .Then at twelve i had to go to work.the worst thing of all is that i wasn't even done working because the store manager will visit the store tomorrow.I came back home at ten i was so exausted.After all those thing i have done i should have go to bed,but unfortunately i had to sit down to do all the rest of my homework because i was very busy for the entire week .I probably will be done around 1:00 am. I can't wait to be done with all those work.My mother always says ''this is just the biggining '' i wonder what's next....

My wonderful day

Today at 4pm i went to the airpot because my best friend and sister in law came from Haiti.I was so exited to see her i couldn't stay at work.when we got home we spent a lot of time to talk about everything.I remembered when we was a little kids she always said we will be together anywhere ,and today she said our dream come true.my brother went out with us to enjoy and to celebrate this beautiful journey.my mom prepared a great meal and bought a cake they wrote on it''welcome''.Today was a great day in my life because my best friend and sister came back to me .

Today i was so sad and i didn't know what was wrong with me.I  prayed the Lord to give me peace in my life because i was out of controle by thinking something bad going to happen again in my country.Sometimes i felt a lot of pain and i thought i'm the only one in the entire world.when i was little i had a secret book and each day day i wrote something on it about how i felt.I always had everything i needed and my parents always took care of me and gave me love,but sometimes i felt that i'm alone i really don't know the reason.today when i listened to this song it really raised me up .listen carefully please.

my birthday surprise party

When i came back to work on febrary 19th which was my birthday my mom and my brother told me to pack my bag.I asked my mom to tell me the reason she said tomorrow early we had to go to Orlando because my grandmother was very bad,and she said i bought already the tickets.Without thinking i packed my bag.I was so sad because anybody didn't say happy birthday to me.I went to my bed at 11:45 pm , we woke up at 5 am, we took the plane at 8:30, and we reached our destination at 12:45pm.I saw my cousine in the back yard she couldn't stop laugh.After a few minute i heard everybody said :''surprise''.i was so exited i couln't say anything.There was my whole family include my boyfriend.I was very proud and happy.The gifts i received were very interesting.I had a lot of funs,my family gathered together and made this surprise party for me.I really enjoyed my birthday surprise party.It was the best party i ever had .

i love music

Music and love always bring joy and peace.when i'm feel sad i just listen to a good song and my sadness goes away.All over the songs ,love's song is my favorite because i feel like the singer talk about me.I going to share with you one of my favorite song.Listen carefully for this song and i hope you enjoy it.

valentine's day

i wanted to say how today was wonderful for me because it also was my mom's birthday.we spent a lot of time together to celebrate my mom as a queen.My brother and i prepared aparty surprise for her and she was so exiting because she doesn't know anything.we had  a great dinner and a lot of fun.My mom was so happy she danced with us and thanks God for everything.It was one of the best day in my life.my boyfriend lives so far ,but we talked on the phone past 3 hours and he sent me a beautiful valentine's card.I hope you enjoyed your day too....Have a wonderful night once again" happy valentine's day".

my terrible weekend

Friday morning  i woke up around 5:30 to go to school but my mother was already left.after 2 hours my home phone rang it was my mom's friends she told me come right now by the bus station because my mom fell down.Without hesitation i ran like a horse.i saw my mom's face she looked like a corpes and i started to cry because i thought my mom was dead.My mom's friend contacted the emergency they came after twenty minutes.I had to go with her because my brother was already at work.when we reached Nassau Hospital they took her vital signs ,and her blood pressure was too high also they talked about her cholesterol.I stayed 4 hours with her. That's the reason i cannot come to school this friday.now she feel better but she cannot go back to work yet because she has to take medicine and lay down.

TV's influences on children

Nowadays, most of the children are expose on all TV channels .They spend a lot of time to watch TV Show at anytime .They do exactly the same things they watched on  TV and tried to do their best as they can.For instance i have my little cousin she's only 6 years old after she came back to school .She used to wear  my aunt's clothes and put  make up on her face.One day my aunt told her'' why you always put  make up'' ? she said ,i saw that on  TV, and i would like to be beautiful by using all the products they showed  , because all those products will change my face as a pretty girl.Others became violent by watching action movies and tried to do the same actions without thinking.For instance,my neighbor's son used to watched ''SUPER MAN'' one day he wanted to try all the SUPER MAN's actions .He put a big towel on his back and tried to fly away.Unfortunately ,he fell down and he broke his leg.
          That's all the reasons each parents has to look after their children when they are waching TV because as immature the children doesn't know the specific things to watch.

My dream

When i was little i dreamed to become a nurse.Everytime i played with my friends i took the part of the person who gave medecine as a doctor or a nurse.My mother advised me to keep thinking about my dream because as for her everybody's dreams are their futur life.i thought about it every day and i realized i really love it.I did my first experience when my brother was sick and my mom wasn't there,i gave him medicine i took care of him as a nurse and he felt better to go back to school.Now i'm at NCC i will do my best to reach the nursing programm to make my dream become true.

Why should i thank God

I thank God every day i wake up and i see a new day.For all my life since i was a little kid.My mother always had to bring me to church.I didn't really know the purpose we had to go every Sunday.When i started to grow up i began to understand why church is very important to me and to my family.When i really think about it i see that God deserve a lot of thanks from us.He gave us life,food shelter and a lot of different things.This is why now i pray him every day to thanks him for saving my family in my country after the hearthquake.

Country of my dreams

The country that i have always dreamed to visit is France. I love France because it has great perfume and a lot of model clothes.I have a lot of family living over there they have always told me that their food are very tasty.but,really when i look at them they make my mouth watery.I love their language which is French and it is also my second language and i'm so glad that i speak it very well.I think i would be crazy if i couldn't speak it.I cannot wait for next summer i could go to visit it.I will learn more about France and especially my family will show me a lot of places over there and also its monuments.

My childhood

When i was little i had a wonderful life.My mom used to gave me all i wanted and needed just to made me happy.Every weekend i went to a central park  with a lot of children in my age.We played together,we did a lot of activities such as danced,drawed and others.I remember for my 6th birthday my parents organized a beautiful party for me at Bo Jeux Park it  was a wonderful place for kids.Over there i met a lot of friends . Many of them was french and one of them became my best friend.we grew up together,we went to the same school . Now she's my sister in law.I really love this part of my life because  i had an opportunity to had a best friend in my life.That's the only one reason i love my childhood and i thank my parents for everythings they did to gave me a happy life.

Unforgettable date: "Hearthquake in my country"

I remember it was the  1/12/10 at  6 PM my mother and I talked about a trip to Haiti to visit our family.Suddenly, the phone rang it was my mother's aunt she said:"watch CNN now because there is a terrible thing happened in Haiti". Without hesitation i dialed my father's phone number. Unfortunately, our little country was already disconnect with the whole world.I even cried i felt a lot of pain because i taught i had no family in Haiti.After four days my cousin sent me a mail she wrote:"we are alive".I was so happy and i can said only two words:"thanks God".However,  i lost friends,neighbors,teachers, and one cousin.How could i get over this drama?  When i saw a lot of corpes surround my country anytime i watched TV i was out of my life .Now i'm feel better because i visited my father for six months ago.He was healthy and the rest of my family.That's the only one reason that i can live without sadness right now.

My unbelievable trip

I had an unbelievable trip to Florida .When i got there ,it was very beautiful .Everything look different over there to New York.The houses were very beautiful .Almost every house had a pool .The street were cleaner than i thought .If  I stay there ,I will be happy every day because the temperature of Miami is the same as the temperature of my country .I didn't really stay long over there because i had to come back to New York so i could go to work.
                         I didn't get a chance to visit the monuments and the other interesting things it has .I  am sure that one day i will go to Florida again to visit it and i am planning to live there because i love that State a lot.

My dog

I had a beautiful white dog ,his name was Mickey. He was my best friend and he was always by my side.He used to follow me every where i go .Mickey was only three years old .The people from my neighborhood used to hate him .One day ,we left him in the back yard and we went out .When we came back ,we found him dead .One of the people in my neighborhood killed him by giving him a poison sausage .I was so sad .I even cried .Since then ,i never got any dogs because i have always thought that Mickey was the best dog i had ever had and would never get.

hi

My name is Marie i'm from Haiti. I speak two languages: creole and french. In my free time, i like to watch tv or listen to music.I came to the United States since one and half year ago. Right now i'm living with my mother and brother . My father is living in my country. I miss him a lot, that is one of the biggest reason i am sad most of the time.
                            I was already in college in my country but i had to come here and and start everything over again. It's very hard because i don't really speak english but i will be able to handle it.
                          The major reason why i cannot speak english well is because my family doesn't practice with me,they speak creole or french at home. I hope i will speak english well during my education at NCC. In the future i would like to be a nurse and have a better life.
