Penn State


I am from Haiti. It’s a third party country located in the northern hemisphere. I moved to the USA in March 2007.The reasons I moved here are because of politics, social crisis, and kidnapping. My parents were afraid of me being kidnapped, so they made me move to the USA.I went to Hanover Senior High School. I graduated in 2008.It was one of my best experiences in high school.

Coming to Penn State wasn’t one my favorite options to pursue my superior education. It was a last minute choice. I told myself , “It’s a good a school, and it‘s not far away. Why not give it a shot?”So here I am at Penn State University, and I am enjoying every minute of it. It’s an outstanding school. I am a freshman this year in the Division of Undergraduate Studies. I’m looking forward to moving to University Park to pursue my degree in Pre-med.


In the future, I am preparing toward medical school. Someday I would like to be a pediatrician. At present, I am trying to do my best in school. Hopefully I can get a scholarship to medical school. I don’t have any big plans besides school. However in the future, I would love to go back to visit Haiti and build my own aid organization for kids in need. I would like to improve their education, eating habits, and give them hope for a better future.

From where I came from, they always told me ,“Education is the foundation of success.”I will not let anything keep me from pursuing my dream. I want to help other people in need.
