SIXTEEN MONTHS RETROSPECTION

Imagine it’s already December 2007, more than sixteen months since I am in Taiwan for my master’s studies in Electric Power Engineering at National Sun Yat-Sen University in Kaohsiung. During the first months here, it was very difficult for me, though I took the decision by myself to join the ICDF program, to really imagine that I am going to spend two years so far from my country, by the fact that I visited many countries before but never for more than ten days outside the boarder of my dear Haiti. However, this experience should be undertaken.

Moreover, since I left school long time ago, it was not easy for me to believe that I can figure things out, but my will and by the sake of God, I finished by getting my cruise speed. Now, here it is, I have already sixteen months here, I start working on my thesis, it’s about wind power that should be in the future promoted in my country. So, special thanks to the supervisor of the ICDF program at NSYSU for his endless support. I hope to be one of those that will have to uphold the promotion of that kind of energy sources, because of the fuel cost escalation and due to environmental concern, when I know my country is not provided of natural resources like petrol for example.

At the end everything will overcome and next summer, I hope to go back to my country as soon as possible with a wide-opened heart to share with others my experience in Taiwan and with the feeling that I didn’t waste my time. If I wish this happy effort of my pen it’s not to write only for the pleasure to do so, but to let some people know if I can anyone can, provided you have the will. There is no insurmountable gate as long as the will is higher than the hurdles.
