Blog #1 - There are a lot of things that define me. I am the son of two immigrants from Cameroon. Being raised in a west African household on its own says a lot about me. I was taught to prioritize my education above all as that is what allowe my parents to come to the United States, and therefore it was my responsibility to make the most of this opportunity and do better than my parents.

I am a lot of things, and having to chose one identity would be impossible. I am an athlete. I love activities that challenge my physical limits, forcing me to compete with myself and others. I am an artist. Rather, I enjoy experiencing different art when presented with the opportunity to do so. Art to me is anything that requires creative effort: music, dance, paintings, and nature are examples of this. I enjoy community service and being part of a church community that encourages this.
