IRB Blog Post 1



This is the sky line of New York City. I live in Haiti, but my mother lives in New York. She has sent a plane ticket and a cassette with instructions to my aunt Atie for me so that I can go to New York to be with her. I knew nothing of my mother as she left me with my aunt when I was very young, but she promised that one day she would send a ticket for me so that we could be reunited. Now that that day has come, my aunt has told me all about my mother and tells me that though she does not want me to leave her love for her sister prevails so I must go. I know that Atie is aware of the fact that I love her and think of her as my mother for she is the one that raised me, but the time has come now for me to meet my mother. New York City, here I come.

  1. I think it's very interesting that your character lived in Haiti and that her mother lived in New York. It must have been really hard to be separated from your mother.
