Si ou santi yon emosyon trè mal, kisa ou fè? M te santi pafwa m pa rete na mond la lontan. M vle rete men panse m yo se trè triste. M pa gen fanmi, zanmi yo, oubyen mennaj à pale ave yo chak jou. M fache tou paske lè m te soti lakay fanmi m, m te gen yon rèv gwo - yon rèv ki m gen lajan sufi e espesyalman mantal/sèvo m se kontan paske m pa tap batay avèk yon vi ki vle m chita anba anpil chay li mete sou do m.

M tap chache nan websit m te konnen lontan e li gen yon liv enteresan rele Rechèch Etid Kreyòl men lè tan pou achete l, li pat pèmèt m achete. 😭 M te chache sou lòt websit m te konn men pa janm kòmande sou li. Li gen anpil materyèl pou li epi tou plizyè chwazi. So, m te kòmande de liv! M pa ka tann pou li rive sou lakay mwen ☺️

Jodia m pa vle reponn sou writing prompt(s) paske m trè fatige men m te di mwen menm fòk mwen ekri si m ta vle ameloyre kreyòl m.

What do you think is the most important thing you’ve done so far in your life? Why do you think it’s the most important?

• Kontinye edikasyon ak kontra lame se pi bagay enpòtan mwen te fè an lavi mwen an. Edikasyon ban m opòtinite pou fè plis kòb ak bon karyè, epitou li moutre bagay m pa t konnen an plizyè sijè tankou sikoloji jeneral ak timoun, syans, kominikasyon piblik, elatriye.

• Mwen te fè yon trè bon desizyon lè m te chwazi etidye nan inivèsitè lokal mwen an. Nan kòmansman, m te vle etidye nan inivèsitè pi lwen (nan nòd eta mwen) paske m te vle fè ekspreyans sof fanmi m. Si mwen t ap chwazi chwa diferan, m kwè mwen t ap gen plis dèt ak yon diplòm ki pa gen valè mwen t ap peye pou l.

How old are people when they start school in your country? What do you think about that?

• Pèp ameriken ale nan lekòl lè yo gen senk laj. Nou ka kòmanse lekòl si nou gen twa laj omwens (pou anvan jaden dafan) men senk se pi nòmal paske fòk nou gen senk laj pou kòmanse jaden dafan. M pa gen yon pwoblem ak sa. Senk se yon bon laj pou timoun kòmanse paske yo konn itiliz twalèt, chita pou pi tan pase lanfan, sèvo grandi, elatriye.

How old are people when they get married in your country? What do you think about that?

• M pat konnen laj pèp ameriken marye epi m te chache repons sou entènèt la. Li di fanm marye a ven-sèt laj e mesye marye a ven-nef laj. M te sipriz paske m te kwè pèp ameriken marye pi bonè men se byen moun tann pi ta pou marye. Maryaj ka tann pou moun sèvo grandi.

When someone retires in your culture, what does that look like now?

What was your silliest fear as a child?

M te mande gran sè si li ka kenbe men mwen. Kounye, pè pou vakens pa la men lè yo pran san mwen se pè ki la ankò.

How old were you when you moved away from home? Why?

• M pa janm sori lakay mwen. Poukisa? M pa gen kòb! Lajan pou yon apatman se trè trè chè. Valè pou apatman ak lakay toulede leve anpil nan ane pase yo a. M ta bezwen achte yon kay pou fanmi mwen. Yon kay ki gen twa chanm ak de twalèt omwens. Pri pou tout bagay se anlè. :(

Do you think your childhood was better than the average childhood in your country now? Why or why not?

• Uhhh, non. Vi lanfans mwen te pi mal pase lòt. Gran sè mwen ak mwen te sou titèl piblik jiska nou te antre klas twa (sè m) ak de (mwen menm) an lekòl primè. Apre nou te retounen ak papa m, nou te gen plizyè pwoblem ankò. Elektrisite te femen, frijidè pa t gen manje, rad te gen twou ak tach, elatriye. Se difisil pou mwen paske an lekòl, lòt moun pa t gen pwoblem parèt konsa. Yo te sanble pi nòmal pase nou. Men m pa chanje anyen.
