Raina Plaisir \u201925, just seven years old, was in her family\u2019s kitchen in Port-au-Prince. She doesn\u2019t remember much but does recall hiding under the table and calling out to her father.<\/p>\n<p>Soon after, Plaisir, her parents, and younger brother, Ryann, went to Haiti\u2019s countryside to live with her grandparents. For the next few months, they gathered the necessary documentation to immigrate to the U.S. The family then found themselves in New York City where Plaisir\u2019s aunt lived. They stayed there until they had some footing of their own. Plaisir\u2019s father stayed in Haiti, hoping to collect pieces of their life and reunite with them as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was hard coming to the U.S., especially because none of us could speak the language here,\u201d says Raina, whose native language is French. \u201cI learned English, mostly, by watching TV and looking through books.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although the transition was difficult for her, Plaisir recognizes the incredible weight her mother carried\u2014and how hard she worked to help Plaisir and her brother assimilate to their new environment, all while she struggled, too. \u201cMy mother signed us up for everything from free afterschool programs to extracurricular activities,\u201d she says. \u201cAt the time, my mom was learning the language, too, looking for work, and rising above so many challenges. She\u2019s such an inspiration to me.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;]<blockquote class='blockquote_shortcode with_quote_icon with_background' style='width: 500px%;border-left-width: 10px; background-color: #f4f4f4;'><span style=\"color: #15234a;font-size: 32px; line-height: 32px;\" class=\"icon_quotations_holder\"><i class=\"mkd_icon_font_awesome fa fa-quote-left \" ><\/i><\/span><h6 class='blockquote_text' style=\"color: #15234a;\"><span>\u201cBeing a Women\u2019s Network Scholar means that I\u2019m gifted the opportunity to do incredible things, to turn my dreams into realities, and to forge my own path.``<\/span><\/h6><\/blockquote>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Life today<\/h3>\n<p>Today, Plaisir is a first-generation student at the URochester. Right now, she\u2019s planning to go to medical school and, perhaps someday, become a neuroscientist. She also loves theater. Her love of science and the arts brought her to the University, a place where she knew she could thrive.<\/p>\n<p>Plaisir wasn\u2019t always as outgoing as she is now. A middle school drama teacher noticed how shy she was and encouraged her to try out for the school play. \u201cShe convinced me to do something that I never thought I could do,\u201d she adds. \u201cI loved it and the way I felt after that performance. I ended up being in every middle school production.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In eighth grade, that same teacher suggested to Raina that she apply to LaGuardia High School, the performing arts school featured in the 1980\u2019s TV show, <em>Fame<\/em>. Going there was the best decision for Plaisir, and it cemented her passion for performance. Her favorite roles were as Blanche in <em>The Streetcar Named Desire<\/em> and as Elmire in <em>Tartuffe<\/em>, by Moli\u00e8re, a French playwright and contemporary of Shakespeare\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>In the spring of her senior year in high school, Plaisir signed on with an agent. Since then\u2014even from her University dorm room, she\u2019s been memorizing lines and sending in video auditions for a variety of roles, from an HBO special to a Netflix production to a New York City Theater Workshop program. Soon, she\u2019ll audition for winter and spring productions presented by the International Theatre Program.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Keeping busy<\/h3>\n<p>Soon after arriving on campus, Plaisir joined the French club.\u00a0 She also joined MAPS (Minority Association of Pre-Medical Students), which serves minority groups that are underrepresented in the medical field. Plaisir also recently attended a \u201cHer Campus\u201d general interest meeting, too, a club that focuses on issues and opportunities for women.<\/p>\n<p>When she\u2019s not studying, involved in a group activities, or performing or auditioning, Plaisir passes the time with friends at the Pit in Wilson Commons, among the books in Rush Rhees\u2019 Stacks, and writing reviews of her favorite articles, movies, and books.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like to read articles in magazines and newspapers and then I write my response to each one,\u201d she says. \u201cFor instance, I did that with an Atlantic article entitled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/magazine\/archive\/2021\/07\/george-packer-four-americas\/619012\/\">\u2018How America Fractured in Four Parts.\u2019<\/a> I related it to what I\u2019ve learned about how U.S. politics has changed since 9-11. I also recently wrote pieces based on the novel, <em>The Lovely Bones<\/em>, by Alice Sebold, and the movie, <em>Get Out<\/em>, by Jordan Peele. I just do this for myself because I think it\u2019s fun.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Quintessential college life<\/h3>\n<p>Plaisir recalls one of her best days at college so far. \u201cA few weeks ago, my friends and I went to Tai Chi Bubble Tea in College Town,\u201d she says. \u201cWe ordered our food and drinks, and all sat down and then, rather frantically and almost in unison, got out our various assignments and just started diving into them. I looked around at each one of us and thought \u2018here we are, all independent young women, taking on life together.\u2019 It was an eye-opening moment for me, one I really enjoyed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>College wouldn\u2019t be possible for Plaisir without financial aid, which includes being a recipient of the Women\u2019s Network Scholarship. \u201cBeing a Women\u2019s Network Scholar means that I\u2019m gifted the opportunity to do incredible things, to turn my dreams into realities, and to forge my own path,\u201d she adds. \u201cThe women behind this scholarship forged theirs and I am so grateful\u2014I want to learn from them all, hear their stories, and know their secrets to success.\u201d [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; box_shadow_on_row=&#8221;no&#8221;][vc_column][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section_slide=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#e9e5d7&#8243; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; box_shadow_on_row=&#8221;no&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-39672 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/adv\/alumni-news-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/women_network-300x170.png\" alt=\"Women's Network logo\" width=\"256\" height=\"145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/adv\/alumni-news-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/women_network-300x170.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/adv\/alumni-news-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/women_network-1024x581.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/adv\/alumni-news-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/women_network-768x435.png 768w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/adv\/alumni-news-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/women_network-1536x871.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/adv\/alumni-news-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/women_network-2048x1161.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/adv\/alumni-news-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/women_network-700x397.png 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Women\u2019s Network<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The volunteer-led<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/advancement\/womens-network\/\"> Women\u2019s Network<\/a> has a mission to harness and celebrate the rich contributions of women around the globe who are part of the University\u2019s family. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/giving\/womens-initiatives\/\">Learn more about the Women\u2019s Network Challenge<\/a> and how to support students through the <a href=\"https:\/\/give.communityfunded.com\/o\/university-of-rochester\/i\/rochestergives\/s\/womens-network-scholarship\">Women\u2019s Network Scholarship<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][vc_column_text]<em>Photo: Matt Wittmeyer<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; box_shadow_on_row=&#8221;no&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1635358386360{border-top-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 10px !important;border-top-color: #999999 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><strong>\u2014 Kristine Thompson, October 2021<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On January 12, 2010,  a 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit Haiti.
