Here My Parents Became Poor
Identity & Belonging

My dad...is proud of being American and he is proud of being Haitian; he would hang the flags side by side. So when it came to language...I would speak to him in English after a while because he wanted me to do well in school... That was it then. We got to speak English, even though he is so proud [of his Haitian roots] because he cares about me and wants me to do well.
