The first 2 black team to made it to the World Cup was Haiti and Zaire from Congo although both teams have lost 3 matches but it is a well known fact and it was a celebration for both countries. It was an achievement for both Haiti and Zaire to be there.

One great soccer hero who is known for being Haiti’s hero is Emmanuel Sannon he scored a goal against Italy. The way he dribbled and scored the goal was so smooth and so beautiful that everyone was astonished. Although there have been others black players who had already played in the World Cup for example Pele and another Haitian soccer player who played for the England team who actually scored a winning goal but it was the very first time 2 black teams participated in the World Cup. Sadly it was the last time Haiti would participate in the tournament. As of 2020 Haiti had more World Cup goals than Canada, Hungary, El Salvador, Togo, Irak, Bolivia, Israel, Angola, democratic republic of Congo, china, Indonesia, Trinidad and Tobago but after the 2022 World Cup maybe Canada has more goals now but I will check on that later but I am sure all of the other countries are accurate as of now.

The Haitian president at the time Jean Claude Duvalier treated one of the Haitians players so wrong after the player was tested positive for drugs and he was disqualified for 1 year, the president sent him back to Haiti and treated him so wrong which wasn’t that deep he could’ve just went home and move on. It’s not the first time people were doing drugs, yes that was wrong but in the 1970’s drugs was very popular.

Although Haiti didn’t win but it is more of an accomplishment than a loss. They are happy to have participated in the World Cup it was not a failure but the most amazing thing that happened for both countries especially Haiti. The last we’ve heard of the Haitian team was in 2019 when they played against Canada in Houston Texas for group stage qualification but they lost, it is still a big step for them. Let’s hope Haiti gets to participate in the 2026 World Cup, in my opinion I think they need to try harder to be a wining team instead of just being happy to be there.

how have memes shaped our culture?

Publié par Gaelle.R 27 Janvier 2023 à 04:38 PM

A meme is described as : an image, video, piece of text etc... typically humorous in nature, that is copied and spread rapidly by internet users, often with a slight variations.

I think that memes have taken over our generation because there is so much stuff that are wrong in the world that we would rather use humor to cope. I only go on instagram or on tiktok to look at memes or funny videos because it is a daily comedic relief in my life. Without memes everything would just be serious and there would be more boring political discussion. if I need to know what's going on in the world I can just go on twitter or head over to instagram. Last week I didn't even realize the egg prices went up until I saw a bunch of memes about chicken dressing up in designers... it was funny to me at the time but it is a huge problem that groceries are becoming so costly. Are we worried about what's going on? yes we are but are we laughing about it? you bet we are!

We need laughter in our lives and I think that memes have made me a happier person, because a lot of things that should stress me out doesn't as much anymore. We do need memes in our lives because the world is just getting worse.

What are your top three needs without which you can’t function normally every day and why?

Publié par Gaelle.R 27 Janvier 2023 à 04:06 PM

1. talking to my mom: I need her opinion on every single thing I am doing because she is my best friend. If I don't talk to her then my day is pointless and I would just be really sad.

2. listening to music + writing. I love music and writing so much and I don't remember a day I didn't listen to music or not write anything.

43. giving my cats forehead kisses because I love them so much and they make me happy.

The world is coming to an end in a week. What are the three things you would like to do?

Publié par Gaelle.R 27 Janvier 2023 à 04:01 PM

1. I would stay home and eat all the food I like, I wouldn't even go to work since I know the world is ending anyways so there's no point..I will just eat because I will need all the energy I can gather for when it's gets bad. I will spend all my money on food honestly (lol)

2. I will walk up to my crush and tell him word for word " I don't care what you're doing right now or who you are with but you are mine now; and I will just kiss him" if he kisses me back then we are getting married right away so that we can get busy because there's no time to waste and the world is ending anyway might as well have some last minute fun ;)

3. I would go see my mom and be with her until the end.

Imagine you haven't slept in a week. Now describe how you would feel?

Publié par Gaelle.R 27 Janvier 2023 à 03:50 PM

First I would apologize to everyone I encounter because I would be very grumpy and rude. I would not make any small talk, would not ask anyone how they are, I wouldn't even say hi to anyone because my mind would be on my bed waiting for me to pick it back up. It wouldn't be my normal bubbly self walking around but a very grumpy old lady. My eyes would be red, I would complain about everything, I would be crying honestly because I cannot function unless I get at least 7 hours of sleep but I usually go for my full 8 hours.

I cannot imagine not sleeping for that long because I cannot function even if it's just for a day, I would have been very jittery because I would need coffee to function. I would look like I am on drugs for real because people would just assumed that because of the way I would start twitching. I have irregular insomnia but very seldom thank God because I don't know what I would do with myself. I love sleeping so much, I need to take a nap before anything I'm doing. I take a nap after I eat, take a nap before I clean and before I do my laundry, before I go out, I will need a nap before my wedding as well because I nap before anything lol

what does writing mean to you?

Publié par Gaelle.R 27 Janvier 2023 à 02:57 PM

First let me talk about the first book i've read that made me fall in love with storytelling and writing. As a child I used to love children books and the first book I remember reading is " oui oui et le gendarme" and I know I was either 5 years old or 6 because it is a far away memory and my mom is still shocked that I remember this book. I will buy this book again and frame it as the first book I've read, I will probably give it to my kids too. Since the book is in french I will teach my kids french as well just so I can give them this book.

After reading that first book entirely I would read just about anything starting from the cereal box, receipt, my cousin love letters to his crushes... he used to run after me to retrieve those letters and I started to learn how to read fast before he would catch me which resulted in me being able to read just about anything really fast. Then before the age of 13 I've read all the romantics books in the house and there was a lot because I got them from a huge bookshelf, I would hide in the dark to read them with a candle because they were forbidden. My mom used to praise me for hanging out in the library room so much if only she knew what I was reading she would never allowed me in there (lol). When I saw how creative writing was and how much you can express with words I started keeping diaries, I had my first diary at 8 years old and I know because I had a crush on this guy when I was 8 and I got this red journal with a lock on it just to write about him. But then he got with my friend so I burned the journal (lol) I've always been dramatic omg.

But let me tell you why I love writing...

When I was younger something traumatic happened to me and I had stop playing and speaking for a while. I retrieved within myself and started spending a lot of times alone; I remember my mom was really concern and she would even advised me to write about my feelings if I can't speak since I spent so much time reading. I had started writing ever since at like 12 years old and I never stopped ever since. Writing has brought me so much joy and comfort. I would write stories and read them to my mom, she used to love them. I would write for anyone who would listen especially my teachers because I was a teacher's pet in elementary school. They would even give me special writing assignments since I love writing so much and I remember my classmates calling me dumb for asking for more homework but I didn't care I was too excited to go home and do it. I would come home take a shower, eat and go straight for my writing assignment before my math assignment. I never spend more than 1 hour learning math and I used to suck at it so bad but my teachers knew I was an A student when it came to grammar, verbs, writing and health sciences so they would just let me be. I think I started to take math serious in 6th grade because of the state test in haiti you had to take a state test before you go to the 7th grade and it was a big deal because if you didn't pass you will have to repeat the class entirely but I passed! I never repeated any classes despite the fact I used to suck at math.

Now, writing is a prominent thing in my life. When I feel sad I write to soothe myself, when I am happy I write to celebrate and when I am mad I write to express my frustration. when I like someone I write because that person is all I think about even if I don't talk to them but I will always write about them because they inspire me. I cannot wait to fall in love so that I can write for my man, I hope that he will be a fan of my writing because it will be annoying if he doesn't like it because I will write him cryptic messages and very detailed notes to let him know how much I love him.

Should all women have access to birth control and family planning?

Publié par Gaelle.R 25 Janvier 2023 à 09:32 PM

As a woman I think that every woman should have a choice about what they want to do with their bodies; it is completely fine if a woman doesn't want kids and I don't think that she is comitting a crime. There is a lot that comes with being a parent and some people just aren't ready for that kind of responsibility; am I ready for a child now? NO I am not but there is nothing that says that I won't be ready in the future under the right circumstance and with a better mind-set.

Having children is a privilege and a ton of women use that as a way to trap a man into staying in a relationship with them, I am against that because that is just selfish. I believe that all women who are sexually active should have access to birth control if they aren't ready to have a child but personally, I don't believe in sex before marriage that is my own conviction but even when someone is married I do believe that they have to talk about having a child together and not just do it without planning because having a baby is costly. Here's a few questions you can ask yourself before you have a baby: Are you equipped to take care of yourself and the baby after he/she is born? is your partner supporting your needs? who's going to take care of the house bills when you are on maternity leave? do you have a pay maternity leave at your job? Do you have enough room for the baby to roam? does your house have lead paint? do you have someone helping you if you get sick? child care? private or public school?

.....

there's a lot that comes with being pregnant and expecting a baby, I do believe that you have to be mentally ready to handle all of it to create a safe place for your newborn because you owe them that much, they didn't ask to be here so it is your job to take care of your baby. Honestly I love babies and I want to have my own someday. I will read this again when I get to that part of my life. congrats to all of the pregnant ladies who are expecting I wish you a great delivery and a awesome recovery :)

things you enjoyed about quarantine.

Publié par Gaelle.R 25 Janvier 2023 à 09:27 PM

Although I had a hard time adjusting to covid and the whole quarantine but I had some good times. I love staying home and at first that wasn't really a problem because I was making some efforts to speak to a few people. I've met tons of people online on Instagram which was really fun, I was in a few group chats that were fun. I loved the fact that we emphasized checking on each other online through zoom, facetime and text. All of that was fun at first.

I discovered SNL, watched the whole season of smallville, saw many movies that I didn't have time to see, slept a lot more, finally learned how to eat well and cooked food from other countries. It was so much learning new things alone, reading books, doing research on topics that interest me... Uhm I think I finally learn how to be okay alone, I learn who my real friends are, I learn to be strong away from everyone. I used to cling to some people to make me happy but during quarantine I have detached myself from all of them and became happy alone.
