1. I am a second generation Jamaican raised in The Bronx. My family immigrated from Jamaica to America for a better life in 1991. Being an Jamaican I am proud of my culture and heritage, Jamaica most famously known for reggae and its cuisine. Growing up as a child I visited the country multiple times to reconnect with family and too see what’s it like to live their first hand.

2. Zinedine Zidane is my favorite soccer player and current coach of Real Madrid C.F, which is also my favorite team. Zinedine Zidane most famously played for Juventus F.C and Real Madrid C.F. Zidane is what got me into watching soccer, seeing his highlights on YouTube made me see soccer in a new perspective, a way I never thought I would before since I hated the sport. He coached Real Madrid and won 3 Champion leagues back to back even though he just started coaching. He is my idol because it shows how a person can come from almost nothing and work their way to the top.

3. I used to work out a lot when I was younger. I use exercise as a tool to de-stress myself. I liked working out because it gives me the physique I want, and it pushes me to become a stronger version of myself. Exercise used to give me a feeling of accomplishment that no other activity can compare too because of the hormones it releases throughout your body.

4. I enjoy listening to music, it is also another de-stresser I enjoy because music takes me to a whole new place mentally. It helps me relax and go on about my day because it puts me in a good mood.

5. I am an straight-forward person and is described as funny by my friends. I enjoy making people laugh because it is what genuinely makes me happy. However I do tend get serious when things start to irk me and not afraid to speak up for what I believe in.
