Ms. Angeline
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you. I was born and raised in Madagascar, an island off of the south east of Africa. After my elementary Education I entered an academy in the French school system called Ecole Normale. In Ecole Normale, Young People are prepared to become the teachers in high school. Upon my graduation, I taught a t the elementary school level in a catholic School. A few years later I joined the Order of Mother Theresa of Calcutta, which eventually brought me the United States. After undergoing the religious formation, I realized this was not my calling and consequently left the order. At that time I was stationed in New York City. I witnessed the plight of the homeless people and felt compelled to take care of them.
