What does summer mean to you?
Summer season means a lot to me. Ever since I was a little kid, it has been the season where I go to the beach with other kids to swim and eat mangos. This is a time where I really feel like I am enjoying my vacation.
What is your best childhood summer memory?
My best childhood summer memory is going to Haiti’s countryside . I played a lot with my cousins. We ate tons of sugar cane and mangos and enjoyed the beach. It felt so good to be in such an environment with great people. That’s the type of ambiance I love.
How do you feel this summer with everything going in in Haiti?
I don't feel good about it at all. It affects me emotionally and mentally.
How are you planning on keeping your joy alive this summer?
The best thing for me to keep my joy this summer is to watch a soccer game as soon as I get off work. This is how I relax.
