How Life in My Home Country Differs from Life in the US
privilege to live in America. I thank you God, that I am still
alive. “God bless America.” I often think about my country
on a nice sunny day, here in America. And how I can return
and help all the people there. I am determined to return to
my home, Haiti, and help everyone have a better life.
Sometimes, I like to spend some quiet time with myself and
think about my future. It is sometimes difficult for me to
understand why some countries are poor and some are rich.
The living conditions in America are nice and pleasant, with
clean surroundings. In Haiti, the living conditions are poor,
and some parts are unsafe to live in. If given the
opportunity, the people of Haiti could have a better life.
In conclusion, some of the responsibilities were
different about my future. I am going to do my best to make
a difference in my country. I will be able one day to provide
jobs, good living conditions and opportunities for a college
education. How life in my home country differs from life in
the U.S.

Coming To America
My name is Jeanne Bredy. I am from Leogane, Haiti. I
had a happy life, as a child in Haiti. When I was nine years
old, my father wanted me to be a nurse. I finished my high
school and went to medical school, Pedodontic D’Haiti, for
three years. After that, I graduated as a nurse and my
father’s dream came true. I had to go to another city, away
from my home, for my work. My father used to visit me
every month. I was the nurse who took care of my whole
family. Three years later, I got married and my first child
was born. Few years later, I got another job and my second
child was born. My husband was a good person and we had
a good time together. However, later because of some
problems, I had to divorce him. During that time, I met one
of my old friends at the church. He lived in America, but
always used to travel to Haiti to see his family. He married
me and filed the visa application for me. That is how I came
to America.
