Sorry

I’m Daveson, a boy from Haiti, a country known for its rich history, vibrant culture, and enduring spirit. Growing up in this beautiful Caribbean nation, I’ve experienced both the challenges and the resilience of the Haitian people. From the bustling streets of Gonaives to the serene beaches of the north, Haiti is a land of contrasts, its stunning landscape and warm-hearted people juxtaposed against a history marked by struggle and triumph. Haiti is the first black republic in the world, and its fight for Independence has shaped not only the nation’s identity but also its place in the world. My life shaped by this unique heritage, is one deep pride in a culture that refuses to be defined by hardship but rather by strength, creativity, and an unbreakable sense of community. 

I came here with my mom and my two sisters, leaving my dad in Haiti. We don’t have a house yet, that’s why we’ve been in my aunt’s house. Going to school without speaking the language was very stressful. It’s hard making friends much less having a girlfriend. But now I am adapting to the people while still trying because English is not my first language.  

I left Haiti for the United States for better opportunities and a brighter future. While my country will always be my home and holds a special place in my heart, the challenges there, such as limited economic opportunities, political instability, and education problems, made it difficult to achieve my full potential. I hope that by moving to the U.S., I can pursue an education, build a career, and eventually give back to my community in Haiti, helping to bring positive change. I believe that the United States will offer me the tools and resources to grow. I carry with me the resilience, pride, and values that my Haitian heritage has instilled in me; with those qualities I know I will make it here and accomplish my dreams of success.
