About

I was born in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. I am the first child in my family. My parents were both born in Haiti but they both came to the Dominican Republic to search for work, which is where they met. In this country, public schools don't always accept Haitians, and although they did accept me, they do not give a very high quality of education. Private schools give a much higher quality of education, but my family didn't have the possibility to send me. Then I got the chance to go to the Change My Stars English camp where I met many foreign counselors who were teaching us English, and teaching us about successful practices. They liked me and congratulated my work ethic and started tuition for me to go to private school. At first I missed my friends and wanted to return to public school, but then came to see the reason that they were sending me to private school. I am very happy and grateful for this privilege and I am working hard to get good grades and graduate. Thank you.

Hi Dana,

I'm sorry I didn't write back to you sooner. Thank you for supporting me in school. Yes, I still want to be a flight attendant. I would like to go to France. What grade are you in?

Hello Miguelina,

My name is Lisa Liu. I am a 10th grade student at Harker school, San Jose, California, United States.

Hope you enjoy the private school you are in, and get a great education!
Hi Miguelina,

My name is Dana and I go to the Khabele School in Austin, Texas. At my school, we are working to sponsor students like you, who have shown a love of learning and need assistance in order to attend school. We had a fundraiser event in order to raise the money to support you. Students, parents, and teachers from our community came to give donations. I hope you are enjoying your classes so far! It says on your profile that you want to be a flight attendant. Is that still true? Where would you most like to travel?

Good luck with your studies!
Dana
