my speech

I can't believe the weekend is over already. Sunday I didn't go to church in oder to prepare my speech.To tell you the truth I'm nervous right now but tomorrow I'll be fine. I used to do that when I was in my country specially at university but Monday it will be in english . I think that kind of activity is good for us, The teachers should do it two times during the semester. It will help us for the next level or for the future. If I did one speech in first part of semester now I 'll be more than ready for the second one. Anyway from september to present I learn a lot things,so my speech will allowed others to see if my english skills is good or bad. Also I learn from other student's speech like the King of Thailand, Diego's dog. Monday will be my turn. I proud of that because, others students are going to learn from me. All I can say thank you Ms Elain for the activity.

Thanksgiving day

unfortunately on thanksgiving day I went to work ,I had a cool day because I had nothing to do.The flights were very light and there were a few customer to take care of. I took adventage of that day to finish my speech on my obssesion or passion .Around 4 :30 pm the manager ordered food for us from Boston Market we had a good time and Everybody enjoyed that day . The good news came few hours later when my supervisor told me that I could go home at 10;30 pm. I was verry happy. I hoped everybody had a good time on thanksgiving day.

Classical music

I remembered when I was 14 years old my God mother came from Paris, and then he told me that he had something for me. He brought a gift for my birthday . When I opened the package I found a CD ,that was Antonio Vivaldi. I said to myself what I my gonna do with a classical CD. She look at me and then she said to me later you gonna love it. Effectively few years after I became a fan of classical music. I have all the greatest composers such as, Johann Sebastian Bach, Joseph Hadn, Ludwig Van Beethoven, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. etc. Last year for my birthday my wife brought me the four season of Vivaldi. That was amazing because Vivaldi is my favorite composer. Now I realize an artist is never died when his works is still existe.

my first sunday

This morning my wife and I went to church and then we went to my mother in law 's house. We had a good time. she was very happy to see us. It's been more than 1 year since I go to church because I never at home on sunday I used to work on sunday. I was complaining to God about that so he finally give me what I wanted. I'm glad. When we arrived at home in the afternoon. I cleanned my house but, I couldn't clean my car it was very cold outside. I did my homework while I was listening to the classical music. I love classical music. Antonio Vivaldi, Bach, Haydn, rachmaninoff , Beethoven, Mozart etc... they're all my favorite. I enjoyed my first sunday at home.

My horrible week

I worked ten days in a row without days off. Yesterday was my bad day . The company moved to another building and I had to put every freights on a new location. I worked by export and import at the same time. I did delivery and I prepared the paper work too.I was complaining to the manager, he finally gave me a co-worker.The new guy didn't know the United systeme yiet, so I had to show him how it works. Usually after I finished my shift I couldn't drive home.Sometimes I drove in two lanes. I was so tired , and when I got home I had home work to do. All over the world life is not easy. I must reach my goal anyway. I know it's not going to be easy,but it's not imposible eather.

Karaoke

The karaoke was wonderful. The singers was amazing. I really enjoyed it. My favorite part was the first singer I don' t remember her name. She came from china and she sang; My heart will go on. She sang like Celine Dion that was incredible.The third groupe was good too . I remember one part of their song; I wanna hold your hand. That was nice to see few people hold their hands together.The teachers were amazing. For me it was a family reunion. I loved it ,I Really loved it. Unfortunatly I don't know how to sing and I don't have a good voice either.I was glad to be there.

I'm lucky

Once again a lot of people is going to lose their jobs at J.F.K Airport. The economy is bad and some companies cannot survive. I'm lucky, because I have seniority. I spoke to my manager yesterday and he told me that I was safe. So this week United Airlines is moving to another building. It will be hard for me because we have less people working over there and I will have more work to do. Two weeks ago I worked by myselft without any help .Now I realize why. I spoke to a co-worker three days ago,and he told me. You know Regi six months ago I bought a house at Queens village. It's been three months since I got married , and now I'm unemployed. What am I going to do? It was very sad to hear that and I felt down. I should be in the same situation too.

Election in my country

In my country we have a lot political parties. We don't have college electoral compare to the U.S.A. People voted for their candidates. The person who win the most electoral vote,will be the president of the republic for 5 years term. We don't have vice President. The President elected will choose his Prime minister.In the Legislative branches we have 30 Senators and 99 people for the house of representatives. After the 5 years term the President has to leave. He cannot be reelect for a second term right away, he could come back 5 years later. U.S.A ,World Bank and F.M.I are always financing election in my country.Unfortunately we always have fake candidates. During the electoral campaign they promess you everything, such as health care, tuitions for college students and creation of thousands of work. When they become President or Senator they already forget you. After their term you will not be able to find not even a Deli. Therefor they pay people to vote for them, otherwise everybody will stay home. That's why my country is so poor to much corruption.

A famous person

It's a story about a famous person who is no longer alive. The famous person that I studied about when I was in high school was Emperor Jean Jacques Dessalines. He lived in the 1800's in Haiti.Because of him, Haiti is now a free country. The first black country which obtained his freedom. Emperor Jean Jacques Dessalines directed the Haitian people to revolt against slavery from the french colonies. In january 1804 ,we became independent. He built the nation that we have today. All I can say, Emperor Jean Jacques Dassalines thank you for what you did for us and we will never forget you.

How I get to work

I 'm a fulltime student and I have a fulltime job too.I usually get to work on time, I started at 3 to 11:30 pm. I arrived home at 12:15 or 12:20 am. I arrived late rarely depend of the trafic.In the morning I have to wake up early in order to get to school on time. After school I arrived home at 12:50 pm . I prepared my lunch ,I took a shower and ready to go again. Sometimes I couldn't see my wife. When I got home she was already sleeping, I didn't want to bother her so I Went to sleep in the guess room. After school she already went to work.Our days off are different too.On my days off, I cleanned my house , cut the grass in the back yard and sometimes I cook too. She showed me how to cook . It's very hard for me however, when you want something you have to make sacrifices.

Unusual life

I know a person that lived an unusual life in my country.That was in the 90's. She had two sons, raised them on her own without help from their father.Those two sons finished college and started to work to help the mother.Suddenly,the oldest died.Few years after the second died with liver desease.Since then, the mother lives an happy life. That was a true story.That person is my aunt.She still lives in Haiti.I call her every two weeks and she's always happy to talk to me.

Conversation Lab

Friday I had a good time at the conversation lab. We talked about halloween,how people celebrated it in different country. In my country we celebrated halloween in different way.Some people went to church to pray for their family or for someone who lost their friends and parents.Some of them went to the party.But we never do trick or treat, because in our culture we don't eat or drunk nothing from someone we don't know. My partner came from Dominican Republic.She told me in the village where she came from,they did the same thing too.We talked about ghost and we did some exercice on it. Some people gave some story about it in their conutry. In my country ghost's story is different. I don't believe in ghost, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. For example in March 1993 my cousin died, his name was Fritzner.He was a kind man and respectfull.Everybody loved him. Two months after his funeral,a friend of my came to my house.But he didn't know my cousin pastaway and he told me. I saw Fritzner(my cousin) in the super market yesterday buying some food. I spoke to him but he didn't answer me and he looked different. When my friend said that my mother cried. And I told him my cousin died two monts ago. He was scared and he felt down in the floor.So until now I don't know if my friend was telling me the truth or not. He might be saw him or might be not. But for some reasons I don't believe in ghost. But anyway I enjoyed the class.
