A Nursing Student Dreams of Her Own Clinic in Haiti

Dec. 30, 2023

Credit...Roger Richardson for The New York Times

Naomie Ambroise, a 19-year-old nursing student, knows exactly where she’ll travel once she
has her degree: Japan and Thailand are at the top of her list.
Ms. Ambroise doesn’t speak Japanese or Thai, but the idea of learning by immersion is a
challenge she’s up for. She wants to helm her own adventures now that she’s out of the foster
system.
When she was a child, Ms. Ambroise left her mother in Haiti to live with her father in New
York City. Living with her father eventually became difficult, and she was placed in foster
care at age 10. She lived with foster families in the Bronx and Queens who, she said, could be
unreliable and unwelcoming.
Part of her defense was to close herself off from foster parents, even though it went against
her open nature. Ms. Ambroise said she was “courteous but also very much distant.” This was
necessary, she said, to adjust from one home to the next. “Sometimes what I found to be
easier when adapting is to not to get too connected to people,” she said.
That started to change when she found a babysitting role in Yonkers. She had recently
graduated from high school, and it was her first job. She was taking time off to plan what she
wanted to do next.
Babysitting gave her some confidence and, unexpectedly, a sense of kinship with the parents
of the child she took care of. They explained that their son didn’t have many friends at his
elementary school. He didn’t talk much. Ms. Ambroise coaxed him out of his shell by sitting
with him as he played with his trains. Little by little, he opened up to her, she said, and the
family would sometimes invite her to stay for dinner and eat dishes like cold noodles. Their
embrace was one of the few times she truly felt part of a family since she left Haiti.
“I just felt so welcome and so happy there,” she said. That connection, she added, is rare in an
aggressively chaotic city like New York.
Despite struggling toward the end of her high school studies, she was accepted to the nursing
program at Medgar Evers College, where she is now a sophomore. Children’s Aid, one of the
organizations supported by The New York Times Communities Fund, helped to pay for
school supplies and other essentials.
When she has finished college and her travels, she intends to return to Haiti. She hopes her
nursing degree might be useful in a country where basic health care is in critically short
supply. “I want to give back to Black people,” she said.

Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests, and fellow citizens,

Today, I stand before you to shed light on a fundamental truth that resonates through the
annals of history and reverberates through the corridors of time — the power of unity. In a
world marred by divisions, strife, and discord, it is imperative for us to recognize that our
strength lies in coming together, bound by a common purpose and shared vision.

As we navigate the complexities of our modern society, we are confronted with challenges
that demand collective action and collaboration. It is in our unity that we find the courage to
confront adversity, the compassion to uplift the marginalized, and the resilience to overcome
obstacles that stand in the way of progress.
Let us not forget the lessons taught by our forebears, who, in times of turmoil and upheaval,
found solace and strength in standing shoulder to shoulder, united in their resolve to forge a
better future for generations to come.

Today, I urge each one of you to embrace the spirit of togetherness, to bridge the divides that
separate us, and to champion a world where unity prevails over discord, where compassion
triumphs over indifference, and where hope shines brighter than despair.

Together, let us embark on a journey towards a future where unity is not just a concept but a
way of life, where differences are celebrated, not vilified, and where the bonds of solidarity
bind us in a shared destiny of peace, progress, and prosperity.

Thank you.

What I Do When I Feel Like Giving Up

written by JAMES CLEAR

GRIT LIFE LESSONS MOTIVATION WILLPOWER

Iam struggling today. If you’ve ever struggled to be consistent with something you care about,
maybe my struggle will resonate with you too.
It has been 939 days since November 12, 2012. That’s the date when I first published an
article on JamesClear.com and it’s almost 2 years and 7 months ago. During these 939 mostly
glorious, sometimes frustrating days, I have written a new post every Monday and Thursday.
Week after week. Month after month. Year after year.
Today, I Feel Like Giving Up
But today? Well, today I am struggling. Today, I don’t feel like writing. Today, I don’t feel
like sticking to the routine. Today, I don’t feel like I have any great ideas and I don’t feel like
I have enough time to make the good ideas great. Today, I feel like giving up.
Research from the University of Pennsylvania has shown that grit is the characteristic linked
most closely to success. I could use some grit today.
Here’s what I try to remind myself of when I feel like giving up…
Your Mind is a Suggestion Engine
Consider every thought you have as a suggestion, not an order. Right now, my mind is
suggesting that I feel tired. It is suggesting that I give up. It is suggesting that I take an easier
path.
If I pause for a moment, however, I can discover new suggestions. My mind is also
suggesting that I will feel very good about accomplishing this work once it is done. It is
suggesting that I will respect the identity I am building when I stick to the schedule. It is
suggesting that I have the ability to finish this task, even when I don’t feel like.
Remember, none of these suggestions are orders. They are merely options. I have the power
to choose which option I follow.
Discomfort Is Temporary
Relative to the time in your normal day or week, nearly any habit you perform is over
quickly. Your workout will be finished in an hour or two. Your report will be typed to
completion by tomorrow morning. This article will be finished in just a moment.
Life is easier now than it has ever been. 300 years ago, if you didn’t kill your own food and
build your own house, you would die. Today, we whine about forgetting our iPhone charger.
Maintain perspective. Your life is good and your discomfort is temporary. Step into this
moment of discomfort and let it strengthen you.
You Will Never Regret Good Work Once It is Done
Theodore Roosevelt famously said, “Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the
chance to work hard at work worth doing.” So often it seems that we want to work easily at
work worth doing. We want our work to be helpful and respected, but we do not want to
struggle through our work. We want our stomachs to be flat and our arms to be strong, but we
do not want to grind through another workout. We want the final result, but not the failed
attempts that precede it. We want the gold, but not the grind.
Anyone can want a gold medal. Few people want to train like an Olympian.
And yet, despite our resistance to it, I have never found myself feeling worse after the hard
work was done. There have been days when it was damn hard to start, but it was always worth
finishing. Sometimes, the simple act of showing up and having the courage to do the work,
even in an average manner, is a victory worth celebrating.
This Is Life
Life is a constant balance between giving into the ease of distraction or overcoming the pain
of discipline. It is not an exaggeration to say that our lives and our identities are defined in
this delicate balance. What is life, if not the sum of a hundred thousand daily battles and tiny
decisions to either gut it out or give it up?
This moment when you don’t feel like doing the work? This is not a moment to be thrown
away. This is not a dress rehearsal. This moment is your life as much as any other moment.
Spend it in a way that will make you proud.
Let the World Decide
So, what do I do when I feel like giving up? I show up.
Do I show up at my best? I doubt it. But my job isn’t to judge how good or how bad I am.
My job is to do the work and let the world decide.

Garden
Old people often visit the garden to have some walk or to chat with their friends who come to
the garden to meet each other. Most of the time we will have old people walking in the
garden and doing some kind of therapeutic exercises to make them feel better and laugh with
each other. It is the most beautiful and enriching part of the garden where we can see people
enjoying and having a relaxed time spent with their family and friends. Children are the
happiest souls when they visit the garden. People take their children to the greens mostly on
the weekends. To make them enjoy some time I’m playing with friends and with some
swings. Garden is ten places where every age group can go and enjoy. Plus it is the only place
where people feel relaxed and refreshed.
Gardens at home
Garden is one of the best places in the house to go and have some gala time with yourself
plus with your family. Often people like to have some space with some greenery or plants
with some swings. A smaller version of gardens at home. It gives a pleasantly beautiful
outlook for your house. Plus it adds that extra topping to your house infrastructure to be
beautiful with a pleasant environment. The House looks more beautiful with the aroma of
flowers and the colour of some incredible flowers grown in the garden.
Birds at the Garden
Also, some really beautiful birds come every morning to the garden. Their sound of chirping
in the morning makes the morning so pleasant and soothing. And to witness this at your home
is excellent. Perhaps one of the biggest reasons people own a garden around their home. The
birds have amazing colours and features plus they have this beautifully crafted feather which
makes them so pretty and to watch them chirping in the morning in the garden is so
wholesome.
The Gardener
A house is a mess when the mother is not around as the mother is the only boss who takes
care of the house conveniently. Just like every house needs a mother to be maintained. We
need a Gardener for the maintenance of the Garden. A Gardener is the one who keeps the
garden flourishing for the whole year and makes them beautiful throughout the year. He takes
care of the plants or flowers to grow healthily. He does everything that a garden needs to
flourish and grow beautifully.
Without a gardener, there is no garden. A gardener is like the mother of the garden and he
takes care with all his hard work plus efforts. He wakes up each morning and visits the
garden and tries to make gs right day by day. And people see a garden and they are like wow
such a beautiful garden. It is all the efforts and little change that a garden brings every day in
the garden which makes them beautiful.
How to maintain the Garden?
It is important to maintain the Garden as if you don’t look after the garden well it will be
ruined within a month. Growing a plant or tree takes a lot of effort, patience and dedication.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to grow a garden with several trees and plants.
And not all people can grow plants or trees. The expert who is a Gardener will only know the
tips and tricks to grow a plant or a tree. Plus how much effort and energy goes into growing
them.
Gardening needs patience in abundance as it is the only reason why a Garden grows
beautifully. Furthermore, a plant or tree needs not only water but they need fertiliser or
manure to grow healthily. Plus the daily check is required for a plant to be fresh and healthy.
Also, green plants need an appropriate amount of sunlight to grow healthy.
In addition, several people hire professional gardeners to maintain the garden. Otherwise,
some people prefer doing it on their own and they enjoy doing it a lot as they get a lot of
pleasure while doing so. It also makes you connect better with nature plus with a garden.
How to the Grow the Garden?
One can always grow a plant or any type of tree. You just need the right instruction and you
follow them to make them grow in the right manner. Plus you can go to a plant or tree
nursery and buy some seasonal plant seed as several flowers change with every new season.
Due to climate change, the growth of the flowers also gets affected badly. The nursery has the
flower or plant seeds according to the season and one can get the information about the seeds
in detail from there. After that, you can plant the saplings of the plants in your garden and
wait plus put your efforts daily to watch them grow beautifully.
You can also coordinate the plant saplings according to the colour combinations and make
your garden more colourful and bright. Everyone should practice gardening as it is a very
healthy and productive habit to invest in.
Plus it makes you connect more with nature and greenery, enhances your love towards nature
and makes you more grateful and responsible towards nature. Furthermore, having a garden
makes the family bonding more strong as they can have their tea and discuss the whole
family matters. Plus they can spend a good amount of time with each other as a family with a
nice view of the greenery around them.
Conclusion
In conclusion, everyone should own a garden there and if they don’t they must visit the
garden often. It is one the best places to calm your mind and forget everything. It heals in so
many ways and you don’t even realise. Try to take time out and visit the garden with your
family or friends. Children and old people especially must visit the garden daily.
