Today I went to a school called Saint Gerard with my mom and brother Yani. There are 1070 students. They are so nice. When I walked in the kindergarten class they were all saying blanc blanc blanc I told them I’m a Haitian and they were like no your not. Then I sang a song with them. They were really cute. I showed them how to make tulips, boats, and planes they were so happy. We also took pictures with them. The older ones were at their sport class.
If I go back to Saint Gerard I will be so happy. I will bring paper from home to teach them other things. I didn’t spend much time but I had fun over there. The children will never want to let go of you. Today is the first time I went, but I fell in love with them. There was a little girl every time I made a plane, a tulip, or a boat she would take it.
At the end of my visit I didn’t want to leave but I had to. I hope to go back soon with construction paper and coloring pencils.
