Achievements
At our institution, we take immense pride in empowering students to reach their full potential. One of our most inspiring success stories is a student who started at the introductory level in our English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program and went on to achieve international recognition.
Initially, he faced the common challenges of learning a new language—pronunciation, grammar, and fluency. However, through dedication, active participation, and relentless practice, he progressed rapidly, mastering English and developing a passion for public speaking.
Upon completing the EFL program, he entered the Optimist International Oratorical Contest, a prestigious competition promoting confidence and persuasive speech. With rigorous preparation, he refined his speech, honed his delivery, and emerged as the winner for the entire Caribbean region, demonstrating his eloquence and ability to connect with an audience.
This victory led him to represent Haiti at the World Championship of the Optimist International Oratorical Contest. Standing on a global stage, he showcased not only his personal growth but also the power of education and perseverance. His speech resonated deeply, reflecting his determination and ability to inspire.
His journey is a testament to the transformative power of education and the impact of resilience. He serves as an inspiration to students facing challenges, proving that with dedication and the right support, remarkable achievements are possible. Today, he continues to use his voice to advocate for personal growth and education, reinforcing the belief that every student has the potential to excel.
We celebrate his journey and look forward to witnessing his continued success as he makes a lasting impact on the world.
