About

Ever since Naomi was little, her parents left her with her grandmother in Haiti and went to the Dominican Republic. When she was 16, her parents came back for her and took her to the Dominican Republic to spend her summer vacation with them. But, when it was time to go back, her mother didn't want her to go. Naomi started to learn Spanish and Dominican life and began attending a Haitian school. She had gone up to the second grade in Haiti. Since then, she has lived here and is planning on taking the National Exam in Haiti this June after completing 6th grade.

Hi Naomi,
My name is Adrienne. I like writing messages to students through the School Fund Website.
Do you speak Spanish? Just like you, I need to practice a language. I mostly speak English but am learning Spanish at school.
Now I'm going to try and translate..

Hola Naomi,
Me llamo Adrienne. Me gusta escribir mensajes a los estudiantes por el sitio de web, The School Fund.
¿Hablas español? Como tú, yo necesito practicar otro lenguaje. En casa solo hablo inglés, pero estoy aprendiendo español en mi escuela.
Lo siento si tengo mala gramatica :-/

Ojalá respondas :-)

Thank you so much for your help with school! I am praying for God to always give you strength and blessings.

In my spare time, I like to watch television. What are your hobbies? I would really like to learn English. Someone is helping me write this.

Thank you again, Naomi

    Experiences in my life are when I failed my examination during primary education and also when my parents failed to pay food for me. My difficult experiences in my life are when my parents have insufficient enough money to pay for all my basic needs at school such as food and other school contributions. The thing that makes me feel so proud of myself is when I succeeded in joining O-level education. This makes me feel that I will, I must, I can do everything. The most memorable and happiest thing in my life will be to reach my dream of being a doctor general so as I can help other people in society. My future dream is to be a GOOD surgical doctor. After me reaching my dream, I will give back help to my society and family, but also to WEF. I need to work hard upon reaching my dream in my life. Once I get chance to have power of changing anything in country, I will improve the education system by converting science subjects from theory to practical. In most of our schools, they teach science subjects mostly theoretically. I will start from there because as we know education is the key to every success in our people.

    Notable experiences in my life are, first, passing my standard seven examination and, second, entering secondary school. My most difficult experience was when I started to learn English. I have learned that if you want to do something, you have to work hard. I felt proud was when I entered secondary school. My most memorable and happiest thoughts are from when I celebrated at my birthday party. My dream is to be an electrical engineer. I will get there through studying hard and doing well in science subjects. If I had the power to change my country, I would like to improve the electricity supply especially in rural areas because there are shortages of electric power.

    The experience that I had early in life was to score good marks in my class, whereby I got good grades which encouraged me to study hard in class. The difficult experience that occurred in my life was an accident on my way back home. I learnt that I should not play again in bad areas. In my life I am proud of myself. I was getting low marks in class but now I have managed to improve a lot. The most memorable and happiest thing in my life is to play football. It exercises my body regularly and hence strengthens my body system. My dream is to become a mechanical engineer. The best way to reach it is through studying hard in school, in physics, mathematics and chemistry. If I had power in my country, I would change the education system of the country so that it helps graduates to depend more on self-employment.
