My college roommate was from Haiti. I was a naive sheltered kid and she introduced me to a whole international community at our university. I got involved with international human rights groups and just got to see the US in a whole different perspective. I think Haitian creole is the most beautiful language I have ever heard. Unfortunately we went our own ways and lost touch. I don't even know what her last name is anymore. But whenever I see reports about political unrest or disaster in Haiti I think of Tashu and I hope she and her family are all right.  |

Awww Anh,I hope they are ok too. I have a friend from there but she lives in Boston now. Anyway, it's good you learned about international human rights, or just the culture in general. Alot of people turn a blind eye to that. Like, they think it's not their area, so no need to worry, but the islands or other countries are just as important as the states. I am not one to brag but I am fortunate to come from a place where its very multi-cultural and we take the lead in alot of cultural awareness. I go to some areas and it's sad people do not look outside the box or explore. Everything is just black and white no turns or curves just straight, narrow world. But, I guess that is their choice. You are lucky to have had that experience and get involved.  |
