I am Marie Ribourg. I was born in a small village of Torbeck in the southern part of Haiti. I have a large family five sisters and seven brothers. My mom passed away in August 2016. I love reading and I have passion for science. Back in my country, I worked at a large hospital as a Medical Laboratory Technician. When I was in High school in Haiti, I was not interested in learning English. My father told me all the time, you will need English try to learn it, and practice it! When I came to the United States in January 2017, I realized my father was right. I started learning English by myself on the Duolingo web site and American English conversation phone app. In South Carolina, where I lived for a few months, I did not socialize with anyone who speaks my native language. Everyone in my surroundings was either English or Spanish spoken person. I really needed to speak English! In September 2017, I moved from South Carolina to Massachusetts. In January 2018, I started as a student at an Adult Learning Center. It was a fast-track way to learn English. I had a good instructor who made me feel comfortable learning language. Just a year later, I was able to transfer into a college transition program at Massasoit Community College. My goal is to be a Clinical Lab Scientist. I am a single mother of two boys, fourteen and nine years old; and I am a full-time employee at Amazon. In other words, I am a very busy lady.
