Camille’s School of Music

Music is life.

I remember bathing outside in one small little shack. I remember carrying a bucket to get well water to bathe. I remember having no inside toilet. I remember when we had no electricity. I remember using an oiled lamp for light at night to do my homework. I remember when it rained our thin roof leaked water. I remember going to school with one dollar for lunch every day. I remember using a super-value plastic bag for my backpack. I remember walking four miles to and from school because my mother could not afford bus fare. I remember sleeping on the floor for eighteen years of my life because I had no bed to lie on. I remember the physical abuse I suffered at the hands of some family members. I remember being beaten so badly my entire body was bloody and full of sores. I remember the domestic violence I witnessed as a child. I remember attempting to commit su***de at the age of twelve because I hated my life. I remember hating myself because I was born a Haitian. I remember having no self-esteem, no self-worth, feeling rejected and abandoned. I want to encourage somebody who feels rejected, abandoned, and hopeless to know that if I can overcome poverty, suicidal thoughts, abuse, rejection and low self-esteem so can you. I have come this far by Faith!! No matter how harsh the circumstances you can overcome!! No matter where you come from or who your parents are there is purpose in You. Don't give up!! Keep fighting and eventually you will Win!!

Part 3: A Father's Nightmare

My daughter fell about three feet on the bleaches hurting herself badly after school. I rushed to her aid like the superhero that I am. She was covered with blood. Her uniform clothes were full of blood. After cleaning her mouth, I took her to the office and the principal said, "We need to get her some new clothes." She said, "Let me see what we can put on her she can't go to the hospital looking like that." I took off the bloody clothes and Rania got a free set of PE clothes. But what got my attention was the change of clothing. The change of clothing to me meant that where Rania was going didn't require her to look like what she had been through. Sometimes you have to leave the evidence of your trauma behind so that People won't see you as you were, but they see you as you are now. Yes, you have been through the storm but leave them old clothes behind. You may not be fully healed yet but stop putting on them old bloody clothes and looking for sympathy from People. It's time to change your appearance to match where God is taking You!! Put on a New mindset. Put on a New Vision and God will cause somebody to buy you your New Clothes!!! Don't let the trauma of your past dress you for tomorrow!!
