Kemara Gopeesingh – Introduction
- At the age of six, I had four ear surgeries in my right ear. It was during school, so I had to stay home for a little over two weeks. I had to wear a big white bandage over my right ear, so nothing would happen to it. Afterwards I had so much trouble hearing in my right ear that I was a little more behind than the other kids. I was glad to stay home, because it was then that I developed my love for art, but I wasn’t glad that I stayed home, because I didn’t get to see my friends.
- My sophomore year in high school had a major impact on me, because that was when my guidance counselor started messing up my schedule pretty bad, and just started messing my whole experience up, because she did something wrong. My sophomore year in high school was also when I started loving graphic design in the graphic design program at my school, and realized I had a passion for it. My senior year also made a major impact on my high school experience, because that was when I joined Model un, where we come up and discuss solutions for modern day problems.
- I love bollywood dancing. In bollywood dancing I do two types which is classical and bollywood film. I have only been dancing for five years, which is not that long compared to other dancers. Dancing is another form of therapy, and my form of expression, because it’s not restricting, I can move how I want.
- For me, my culture defines me in certain aspects, like my favorite foods, and the kind of my music I listen to. I am from Trinidad and Tobago, an island in the caribbean, and we listen to music like soca, reggae, dancehall and more. Some of the foods I like to eat from my culture are roti, doubles, and more. One thing we are well known for is carnival, and I love to see the costumes, makeup and just everybody having a good time together.
- I don’t really talk about this much but I have an older sister, and we are three years apart. I don’t really look up to her that much. When it comes to me and my sister, I like to do my own thing. However, just because I don’t look up to her, does not mean I don’t love her. Most of the time we fight, but there are rare times we spend a lot of time together just talking.

During high school I also realized that I have a passion for graphic design. I took a college class in 11th grade for digital tool box which was graphic design. I enjoyed it and used what I learned there on top of what I already knew to design flyers and other posters for my school and buildOn (community service organization)
