我的美国梦
by

Lamothe
Freedom
of
speech
in
America
is
different
from
the
situation
in
my
native
country,
Haiti,
where
the
right
of
anyone
to
speak
is
denied,
or
you
are
intimidated
by
the
government
authorities.
I
left
because
of
the
lack
of
free
speech,
and
emigrated
to
the
United
States
on
June
16,
1990.
The
night
that
my
plane
landed,
I
said
to
myself,
"My
dream
has
come
true."
I
said
that
because
my
native
country
hadn't
given
me
any
opportunity
to
prove
myself,
even
after
having
gone
through
fourteen
years
of
school
and
three
years
of
university.
This
lack
of
freedom
is
caused
not
only
by
the
government
but
also
by
the
race
problems
between
people
of
different
skin
colors,
although
family
background
makes
these
problems
much
worse.
There
is
even
discrimination
against
those
from
different
towns
or
countries
of
origin.
I
am
woman
who
has
fought
my
entire
life
for
my
values.
My
mother
is
a
hard-working
woman
who
did
everything
to
make
me
accomplish
something
in
my
life
because
I
am
the
only
survivor
of
her
eight
children.
I
felt
my
little
town
when
I
was
fourteen
years
old
for
a
better
education
in
the
capital
of
Haiti.
My
school
was
supposedly
one
of
the
best
ones
there.
Whatever
my
efforts
in
school,
however,
I
was
still
humiliated
and
frustrated
by
my
teachers
and
fellow
students.
I
was
one
of
the
brilliant
students,
but
no
one
appreciated
that.
The
one
thing
I
always
though
about
was
to
be
someone
who
was
respected.
I
always
dreamed
of
being
in
Congress
as
a
woman
representative
from
the
middle
class,
as
a
person
who
was
proud
of
her
family
and
where
she
came
from.
It
was
something
unusual
to
have
any
women
from
the
middle
class
in
Congress.
I
dreamed
of
making
a
difference
and
being
a
good
example
for
all
suffering
women
like
me.
After
my
pre-university
education,
I
took
business
and
economics
courses.
And
three
years
after
that,
I
went
back
to
my
little
town
to
try
to
help
illiterate
people.
I
wanted
them
to
know
their
rights
and
how
to
sign
their
names
because
an
estimated
65
to
80
percent
of
the
Haitian
people
are
illiterate.
The
idea
to
go
back
to
my
home
town
and
do
this
occurred
to
me
as
I
worked
on
an
assignment
my
teacher
of
philosophy
once
gave
me
for
homework.
When
I
got
home,
I
sat
in
my
bedroom
to
do
the
assignment,
but
nothing
came,
and
I
didn't
know
what
to
write
down
or
where
to
begin.
After
fifteen
minutes,
I
said
to
myself,
"Let
me
make
believe
that
I
am
the
president
or
the
prime
minister
of
this
country.
Now,
I
have
to
write
something
because
tomorrow
I
will
have
a
great
meeting
with
all
my
people."
Then
the
words
poured
out
as
if
I
was
drawing
out
some
water.
This
was
the
inspiration
that
led
me
to
go
back
to
teach
illiterates.
Later
I
decided
to
run
for
the
Congress
in
Haiti,
but
it
is
very
difficult
to
do
something
positive
in
my
country
without
money
and
power.
Those
in
power
thought
that
an
idea
like
mine
would
never
work
in
Haiti
because
the
capitalists
don't
want
anything
like
my
ideas
to
be
put
into
practice.
Those
rich
people
who
have
the
monopoly
on
the
coffee
and
cotton
didn't
care
because
this
program
would
never
really
be
their
primary
interest.
For
me,
however,
helping
my
people
was
my
only
concern.
Because
of
my
popularity
and
my
interest
in
the
community,
I
decided
to
run
for
the
Congress
to
make
sure
my
idea
would
become
a
reality.
I
was
defeated,
of
course,
for
the
reason
that
I
was
a
woman
from
the
middle
class,
without
the
necessary
power
and
influence.
Since
that
time,
I
began
to
have
problems
with
the
government.
I
was
threatened
by
the
army.
I
received
terrible,
upsetting,
anonymous
phone
calls,
and
for
more
than
four
hours
I
was
asked
questions
by
the
secret
police.
Then,
I
dreamed
about
coming
to
America.
I
knew
that
this
is
a
free
democratic
country
with
a
community
that
makes
immigrants
welcome,
and
that
is
an
example
for
so
many
other
countries.
The
sociological
problems
of
Haiti
have
to
be
resolved
as
well
as
the
attitudes
of
the
government
toward
the
poor
and
middle
classes.
This
is
the
last
part
of
the
twentieth
century,
and
it
is
our
time
now
-
for
all
of
us
who
might
have
dreamed
of
a
chance
for
our
society,
and
also
for
those
people
who
can't
express
themselves
because
of
the
power
of
other
people.
It
is
time
for
democracy
and
peace
to
be
fulfilled,
and
there
must
be
changes
everywhere,
economically,
politically,
and
sociologically.

Very happy can gather with everybody in is high one (5) the class, I hoped we can hand in hand pass through the most unforgettable three years, realizes our university dream! !
楼上都是什么跟什么啊,我都看不下去了。
作答如下:
【以下的这些晚睡晚起的积极效应都是微乎其微的。(很少沮丧和焦虑、更倾向于吃早餐这些早睡早起的积极效应则很大)。在某些特殊职场中和特殊情况下,“夜猫子”有着明显的优势(工作所迫啊),然而这在统计研究上十分重要(就是说在统计研究这一现象的时候不能一味否定晚睡晚起,也要综合考虑晚睡晚起对工作产生积极效应这一情形,不能一棒子打死,以偏概全)。】
希望帮助到你!
It's my pleasure to meet you in Class five, Grade one. I hope we can spend the most unforgettable three years together and may our college dreams come true!
