“My Business Law class and another class with Professor Farron. I’m also looking forward to meeting new people, new students, and new professors, and welcoming the new students to the College. I plan to graduate in May and I can’t wait for graduation day. I’m looking forward to crossing the stage with my family watching, my Mom mostly. Back home in Haiti, I didn’t have a chance to celebrate the way that I wanted to. I want to celebrate with her and my little brother.”
