Most Significant Experience

The experience that has affected me a lot recently is seeing my grandfather get remarried.

This event may seem small but it is very important to me. My grandmother whom my grandfather loved dearly for 40 plus years passed away and now my grandfather is remarried without 2 years even passing. I think to myself everyday how he could be ready for another marriage so soon. Then i let the thought escape as i think that if this is what will make him happy then it is good for him.

The Dew Breaker......Personal and Academic

The Dew Breaker was one of the most interesting books that i have read. It is a book of experiences from a great author that pretty much anyone can relate to. Academically I can relate to the hard work that was put forth by the Haitian immigrants once that reached New York. Being academically successful is not easy it requires patience and devotion. Even though sometimes the going may get rough we have to remain humble and continue to work and later on down the line there will be great pay offs. From a personal aspect I can relate to the book in a way when Danticat's parents left her and she wondered if she would ever see them again. My parents never really left me but my father who is in the Army left for Iraq when I was younger and in the back of my head I wondered if he would return. It is tough having thoughts such as those going through your head. It can affect you throughout your daily life in ways that are unseen to the average person
