Every morning at Anne Marie Javouhey in Petion-Ville, a group of students (myself among them) stood in line before our flag.
Every morning, at exactly 8:00, we placed our hands on our hearts and belted out the words of our National Anthem.
We sang for our country. We sang for our ancestors.
This kind of repetition stays with you forever.
The National Anthem is branded on our minds.
We continue to lift our voices to honor Haiti, knowing the best is still yet to come.
