What is something you dislike about yourself? Describe it in detail. Why don’t you like this particular attribute?

I know in life nobody's perfect, and everybody has good and bad attributes. But i believe that i m so close to perfect sometimes it scares me (LOL). I love everything about myself but if i had to say what i liked the least it would probably my over sensibility.
I wont go and say i hate it because its part of me and its what makes me, but that doesn't stop me from sometimes hoping that i didn't take everything at hearth like i do.
Everybody always tells me that i have to change that and i often hear that they cant joke with me. i think that s not true and its just that i m over caring sometimes, and that some jokes are sometimes just not funny but well you never know it s maybe something i have to work on but5 it s not like i m going to stress all my life over it. It's what makes me Rachelle, and my unique self so i don't care. Like i always say if you don't like my attitude quit talking to me!!!!!

Have you ever seen a ghost or heard a noise that could not be explained by any rational explanation? If so describe the occurrence. What happened? Describe the entity you saw or sound you heard. If you have not, do you believe that there are spirits of dead people dwelling in our world? Do you know anyone who claims to have had an encounter such as this? Do you believe them?

I do believe that there are spirits of dead people dwelling in our world because to me, a spirit cant rest in peace until he's fulfilled what he desires and is happy. Like for example when somebody gets killed i believe that person cant rest in peace until he takes his revenge. So the persons soul cant go wherever its going, in heaven or in hell until he is revenged but i also think that they have an option, because i really don't think God would let you get vengeance and go to heaven i believe its more like, if you don't want to hurt the person you might need to wait for him to be punished, or die himself.

I don't believe in voodoo, well i know it exists but i just know it cant hurt me. And i know a few people that practice that religion and they often claim they have seen dead people come to them at ceremonies. I do believe them, because you never know its black magic and like they often say, humans worked hard to keep on achieving more and more and getting more power and capabilities so i guess it might be true, but i'll probably never know,well i really don't want to know, because seeing a ghost is definitely not part of my 10 things to do list. :)

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why? Is there any special location that you would like to go to? Have you been there before? What is your impression of this place?

I don't know if its because i m sixteen but if they're was one place in the world i could live, it would be Haiti. I know it might sound ignorant and infantile knowing that the country is undeveloped and presently insecure, and you basically cant have a life there, that is and will always be my number one choice because i love it.

I was raised there, i lived there all my life and i have so much memories that i wouldn't think about any other place. Haiti is the only place i know that there isn't an age to drink, go clubbing or well to do just about anything.

I believe this obsession with the country is just do to the fact that i m really nostalgic since i left, because of the unexpected way it happened but it will probably change, because before i wasn't like that and knew that i would leave one day, i just wasn't ready yet.
When i m about 21 and I'm legal everywhere, i ll probably want to go live somewhere but until now, i ll just stick to studying hard, so i can get a job, and move back over there.

What is your most indispensable possession and why? What possession of yours is most special? What make it so special? How did you acquire it?

My most indispensable possession is a set of gold jewelry that have ruby stones. When she was young, my mom got a set of jewelery with ruby because red was her favorite color, and when i was born in July, she was really looking forward to giving it to me being my birthstone, but still waited for the right time. She also started a tradition.

She kept it and gave it to me when i was 10 as a birthday gift because she then believed that i was mature enough to keep it by myself without loosing it. Its also very special to me because it was the first real sign to me that my mom trusted me. I use to always loose and be careless about my jewelry. But when she gave me that set, i looked forward to me having it my whole life and passing it on to my own kids and i hadn't lost anything since.

I ll keep until i have my own daughter ( if i'm blessed with one) turns 10, and if i'm not i ll give it to my son, so he can give it to her daughter. My jewelry is the what i care the most about, if i where to leave the country or something i think i d forget my passport before i forgot it.

Is calling the man Hispanic to describe what he looks like a racist statement or not?

When i just came here, i never made a big deal about race, due to the fact that where i lived, we were all Haitians and it didn't matter what our skin color was, were we were born nor what color our eyes or hair was. We were all equal in every possible way. Black, white or yellow we were all people, friends and family living in the same country and going through the same thing its not like we had a different education for different races, or you could get jobs because you were white. Race was never an issue. The only time we might have talked about race was in middle school where we studied that there were 3 races: White, black and yellow.

So when i moved here, and i heard Hispanics saying they were not white but Hispanic, i taught that was the most ignorant thing because Hispanic is not a race. So no I definitely don't think it's a racist comment, because they didn't even mention the persons race in the description. And plus that makes no sense to be all concerned about the way they described the person because i always hear descriptions of criminals starting by it was a black man... and i don't see anybody complaining about it, that's what a description is, describing the person and the most details possible, because the more information you give about the suspect, the better chances you have of getting him caught.

If I were the teacher, I would... (finish this sentence and write at least 2 paragraphs describing what you would do if you were a teacher)

If i were a teacher, i would always make sure that all my students are treated equally. I've never even consider being a teacher but it always amazed me how a lot of teachers around me, often like some students more than others, or just treat some unfairly: by giving them referrals for no reasons, or kicking them out at the first occasion they find just because they don't like the students.
I believe that as a teacher you need to be the bigger person by putting aside your feelings for that particularly person and teach him what you have to teach him. What they don't realize is that the more you help that student, the better it is, because you have less chances of seeing that kid next year and the faster he'll leave school so you ll probably never have to see him again.

If i were the teacher i would also make sure every student have a clear understanding of the class so i would be sure that everyone, is on the same level of comprehension. I wouldn't be like some others that just assume the child would get it after a few exercises.

The best lesson my grandparent (or parent or any relative) ever taught me was… (describe what and why)

The best lesson I've ever been taught was by my mom. She's always telling and showing me that what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. Whenever something happened to me, i use to just sit there and complain about it. When i had a problem i use to either close my eyes or run away from it and she use to always repeat to me that years didn't kill me so days wont.

From that i started facing my problems, just like my mom and learn from my mistakes. I look up to my mom, because she's the strongest woman i know. My mom doesn't argue with people, if you do something to her ,she wont fuss, complain nor fight you about it, she ll just let it go, but for example if you lied to her, she'll just not trust you anymore. Me and my brothers are the apple of her eyes and even when we give her a hard time, she's still there and takes it. And them me and my dad are the only people she really forgives and forget about somethings we do wrong.

If it wasn't for her, i d always be sad or crying just like i was before. But thanks to her now, i m learning that crying and getting mad doesn't resolve anything, it just gives you a hard time, while the problem is still there and you have no solution for it.

If you and your best friend could have a free limo for 24 hours, where would you go and what would you do? Describe in detail what you would do.

To me a limo isn't really a big deal. It s just like whatever. But if me and my best friend could have a free limo for 24 hours on just a regular day, for example if it s not a party or a bal, it would just be normal. We d just go around, well first i'd go to the mall, because that s all i do and after i would probably head clubbing.

I d find a way to go to a club, we d dress up to fit the car, well we always do and drive around for a while before we actually get out of the car.

I know i d enjoy the champain though (j/k). But i know for a fact i wouldn't stick to one club. I would probably go to three or four clubs, because after an hour or two we d be tired of seeing the people's faces.

Describe a dream that you had recently. Provide as many details as possible. What do you think the dream meant? Did it disturb you or did it make you feel good? Why?

Yesterday, i had the craziest dream. I dreamed my nephew died. It was the craziest thing, he sneaked out of the house to see his girlfriend and got in a car accident. Everybody in the dream was crying and in pain and we didn't understand anything. It was weird because all of a sudden we got to the coffin part but it was in the house.

My sister buried him with a PlayStation 3 and i put a magazines about cars in it, because to me its all he lives for. I also added a picture of his girlfriend because lately that s all he's been talking about, and being the last person who saw him she was devastated and begged me to. It was the saddest thing ever, but just when we closed the coffin, i woke up.

When i looked at my clock it was 4:30 and realizing i had another hour to sleep, i layed right back on my bed and slept without any problem.

Write an entry telling another person something that you are too afraid or reluctant to tell them. Pretend you are actually talking to them either in a note or in person

Hey Babe, i know i've been holding this from you for two years now but now i have to let it out. Every single morning when i wake up and just like that during the day, i cant stop thinking about you and the fact that your destroying yourself.

I love you with all my heart and i need you here with me, i dont know what i will or would ever do without you and to me the fact that you smoke means it s not reciprocal. I've tried everything to make you stop, ask you for it as a birthday gift, as a token of love, i even told you i would start if you didn't stop but you never listened. And i wont ever start, because unlike you, i love myself and think about the people who love and appreciate me before i do something stupid like that.
I reminber one day, when i was explaining to you that i told one of my X's to quit or i would start and he did, you got mad because you said that to you it meant that i cared about him more than you that i've known all my life, that had always been there for me and that i love soooo much.

I know that now, i m not with you everyday, and i only see you during a short period, and that the rest of the year just keeps getting harder and harder everyday without you, it doesnt matter, because it's better than watching you kill yourself.

Your probably even though you say your not, so addicted to it that this letter, coming from the bottom of my heart, your baby, your life, wont even matter nor have any time of impact on me. But at least i know i tried, and i ll continue trying until the end.
and now that i still and will always love you , and i miss you soooooo much,
Rachelle

Would you like to be on TV? Why? What would you like to do? What show would you like to be on?



Being on TV isn't a dream to me, but if i was offered a job or had to go do something, i wouldn't mind at all. I really believe in myself and have high self-esteem.

I would like to do a show for kids or a drama show. I d like to be on the Tyra banks show or some type of fashion, dance or drama show.

I like to express myself and dance, i love modeling and clothes so being on TV to do it would be the best thing to me.TV needs new people on it because i m tired of always seeing the same people, we need new shows, new episodes.

I also wouldn't hate being on Barney and friends, or full house, wee if they still made it because when i was younger it was my favorite show and i loved it. I use to adore watching it, and singing , playing and dancing along. So i would like to go on the show and make it exciting for other kids and make them have an opportunity to enjoy it like i did.
