Introduction

Good evening everyone, my name is Jean Joseph, I am a transfer student from Borough of Manhattan Community College. I was born in Haiti and came to New York at age of 33. All of my brothers and sisters and both of my parents lives  here . I enjoy being a New Yorker even what “ Diaspora “ was telling people are lies., that you can get money everywhere, on the trees or on the streets. As the first male member of my family to have a chance to get a associate degree in US. It means a lot to me, made me proud of myself also will not stop there and continue to achieve my goal to get my bachelor. I remembered growing up in Haiti, things wasn’t bad at all for, never get a chance to work for people, I used to have my own business and didn’t even know that was kind of like a job for me. Didn’t know the concept of being an entrepreneur, which   I was since at age of 18 years old. I started understand about jobs when I started working my first job and was totally confused and from that one job my entrepreneur mindset was starting to change and understand life, wish I should known that when I was very young
