Produktbeschreibung

All-throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, I've found myself listening, reading, and watching a lot of historical events that were taking place right in front of my eyes. The country was so divided. Even my co-workers were turning against one another over some stupid vaccine mandate. The issues were and are clearly things that we can't seem to talk about at length when we're at work without getting into some kind of trouble. People get very sensitive about any topic where they'd report me to the boss or the authorities. I couldn't express myself, I couldn't breathe; so I had to find a way to unleash or else I would explode.

I've decided to write books all-throughout the pandemic to simply express myself. Although I might seem extreme at times, I always try my best to control my ego and my emotions to tell the truth and nothing but the truth on how I see it and witness it. You'll see...

Yes, the contents within this book can be intense, exciting, fun, interesting, controversial, straight-forward, and debatable. But at the same time, I tried my best to keep it simple. It's not a book where you would have to go to a dictionary or Wikipedia to understand every single word. Nothing that annoying and frustrated at all. I wouldn't do that to you. Not me, no sir, no ma'am, not this man here, nah-anh...

Anyways, I am not writing for the money. I do very-well for myself, thank you. And I am not trying to impress anyone with how articulate I can be; therefore I don't see the point of using strong Engineering dictionary vocabulary words to get my message across. Besides, I'm originally from Artibonite, Haiti as you might already know from my previous books, and note that English is not my first language or my strong suit; therefore it just wouldn't be authentic to be using strong vocabulary words which would bore you out. I don't play that...

If you ever had the opportunity to engage in a deep conversation with me, you'd probably notice that I'm a stutterer with an accent, and I tend to talk a certain way all throughout my books. The way I talk is kind of like the way I express myself. Except, I do not stutter when I write. God knows if only he had given me the ability to speak like some of my relatives and friends, or any other normal human being, I think I would be DANGEROUS...

I hope you all have a fun and interesting read...

Please take all the time you need to slowly read this book as I promised you before you won't be disappointed.
And feel free to discuss the contents within the book with your peers or drop a comment every chance you get; it would be very appreciated.

Autorenporträt

I was born in the Artibonite Department of Haiti on January 4th, 1978. I spent my first six years in a small town called Saint-Marc where I finished kindergarten. Later, my family moved to the country's capital, Port-au-Prince, looking for a better life and better education for us kids, as unreal as that might sound. The school system in Haiti was very different then. They were mostly private schools, which were very expensive, but my family did the best they could to make sure me and my siblings all went to school.

I later moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida with my siblings in 1993 and started High School in the 9th grade at Dillard High. It was quite different from what I was accustomed to back home in Haiti, but I did what I had to do and painfully made it through High School.

I got myself into credit card debt early throughout high school; so I was living paycheck to paycheck. College would have been rough for me anyway at the time since I wasn't totally into school with all the debts that I've accumulated off buying cool sneakers and flashy clothes. I knew I wasn't gonna make it at the average rate I was going with the average mindset that I had; that's when I decided to pay Uncle Sam a visit before it was too late. I quickly enlisted in the US Navy for 4 years right after High School, which I was able to use the Montgomery GI Bill to attend the University of Florida later on. Although I was out of the Navy and all, I had so much passion for the Navy that I had decided to stay in the Navy Reserve with the Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB 14) to remain attached and connected to what the government had offered. Got activated in 2004 and went to Iraq with the battalion for a year, and that was my wake-up call. After that deployment I decided I had enough. I was literally sick and tired of being shot at and getting hit by improvised explosive devices (IEDs). I did my time and paid my dues for this country. There comes a time where a soldier, a marine, or a sailor must say enough is enough so I made my decision to go back to school and finish up what I had started.

After graduating from Florida with a Civil Engineering degree, I quickly got a job working as a Nuclear Engineer in Kittery, Maine and started making some real money which I was able to use to finish paying off the little bit of college student loan that I had acquired during school despite having the GI bill benefit throughout engineering school.
