Where I am From… My Present Perspective… Dear Future…
By Thessono | From : Haiti | School : Boston International Newcomers AcademyWhere I Am From
I´m from the sound of the rooster in the morning
From the smell of coffee and tea and dew.
I’m from the morning when my grandma kneels and prays
next to her bed.
I’m from good weather in the morning before the sun rises.
I’m from the biggest history that has ever existed in the world
and the best dishes as well.
I´m from freedom but not mentally free as a nation.
I’m from the blue sea of the North-east of North-america.
I´m from a strong culture and strict family rules.
I´m from a place where sunday is special.
I’m from a rich and special earth.
I’m from hope and unconditional love.
My present perspective
Today I am the river that flows through the top of the mountain.
Following the path to its purpose.
Today I’m a life learner who keeps learning from life.
Today I take the pen to write my own story with my own creativity and perspectives.
Today I embrace each struggle that I face.
I see that only the sky can be my limit on this Earth.
I can feel the pain from the past strengthen me to
keep moving forward.
Today I like taking more risks than before,
everyday is made of opportunities,
you just have to take them.
Today I can say that I have learned things from the past
that will help me for the future.
Dear Future Thessono,
I always believe that you will make it,
after all that you’ve been through man.
I see you in your dream house living in the mountains.
Living in the mountains was always in my plan though.
You´re not perfect but you always do your best
and fight for your beliefs.
I´m so proud of what you have done for ourselves and
your loved ones.
I see that you have found your way to God
and your relationship with him gets stronger.
You always want to help others in their struggles.
I´m especially impressed about what you did for your country.
I’m still thinking about this project now.
but i’m so glad that you’ve accomplished it man.
You finally broke up this barrier,
you are financially, mentally, spiritually free.
