My name is Jeffry, I'm came from Haiti. I came here in California with my family to have an other life in order to don't have stress because Haiti has a bad situation and also i'm here to finish my education.
July 14,2006 was the date I got here. Two weeks later I got my green card. The next month, in August, my sister and I were trying to enter to university, but someone told us we should go back to college because California doesn't accept other country diploma. I was so sad to hear that i'm not able to use the college diploma from my country. Unlucky, when I tried to apply in a college (SMC), they told me I must been in California for a year before I enter to college because I'm a resident. When I heard that I told my mom I want to go back to Haiti to finish my education and she replied please Jeffry don't say that because i can have a better education here in California than Haiti. In Junuary 2007 I told my mom I'm so bored to stay at home whatching tv or listening music for all day, then she asked me what do you mean by saying that? I answered her I need to do something while I'm waiting to go to college, maybe i'll go get a job to be busy. She looked at me and she said "I understand your opinion my son, but it's too early to get a job you better finish with your education first" I looked her in her eyes and I said please let me go to work because stay home make me feel bored and make me miss my country. Couple weeks after I feel application for work in three compnies as a result I got a job in March 2007 and I'm still working there. In addition, now I'm studying Business administration at SMC then I would like to transfer to a university in order to be a business man and get my own business in the futur.
Now I'm doing both, working and go to school. I hope God going to help me to make me done with my objectif to be the man I want to be.

A friend of mine visited me on the weekend, a couple of my husbands friends arrived on Sunday from Toronto to stay with us for a few days for thanks givingday, and ah... whatelse did I do.. And had a big test today. Well, now I feel a lot better. Opened up one of the wine bottle. Thank God, my husband got a few bottles of wine from a winary the other day. Alright, have a good day and will see you on Thursday.
