I am very proud, flattered and honored to learn that a Haitian - American man has been elected as New Jersey's councilman that shows us that Haitians are very intelligent and have something going for themselves and there's hope that maybe one day my country might get back on track.
After hearing that, I couldn't believe my ears and it motivated me to keep doing my best in school and have a more positive attitude towards life in general and it amde me feel really proud of being Haitian and by being a brother as well it really thought me not to believe anyone that's trying to predict my future by telling me what I can and can't do I believe that I can do anything as long as I put my mind into it and as long as I work hard for it I can get it
Now all we need after Obama is a Haitian American President of the USA "impossible?" I think not. American minds are finally open it just might happen (a suivre) to be
i feel good to hear some like that. because its not everyday you hear some good about us Haitians.
i hope that he keeps his head up, and make ourname look
