About Me: My name is Marah Jolibois and I am a freshman at Valley Stream South High school. I was born on July 26th 1995 in Kew Garden Hills New York. At age 5 my parents, Martine and Jude Jolibois, and I moved to Valley Stream, where I currently reside. I am of Haitian descent. At age 6 I was blessed with my little sister Judymae. I am an honor student and hope to advance as a photo journalist in the future.
Hobbies: I have a passion for reading, swimming, writing, photography and dancing. My favorite books are the Harry Potter series, by J.K Rowling and the Princess Diaries series, by Meg Cabot. I started dancing at Leggz Ltd Dance when I was 5 years old and I’ve loved it ever since. I do tap, ballet, jazz, modern, and hip hop. With my dance studio I perform annually in a full length Nutcracker ballet with a live orchestra and dance in Disney World, Florida. I am a member of my high school orchestra playing the violin and the piano and I’m part of my school’s varsity track team.
Travel Experience: My family and I have had the great pleasure of traveling to many different states and countries. We have traveled to the Bahamas, Barbados, St. Martin, Haiti and various states around the United States. I have traveled with People to People previously in 2006 to Washington D.C. This will be my first travel experience by myself out of the country. With this group I hope to experience true life in other countries for this will be a voyage of a lifetime.
