Hello everyone. My name is Ka-Ho Andrew but you can call me Andrew. which is legally my middle name but been using it as my first name since I could remember. My pronouns are he/him. I was born and raised in the Netherlands a small country in Western Europe. I moved to Brooklyn, New York when I was 14 years old. I went to Leadership and public service high school in lower Manhattan near Wall Street. My ethnicity is of Chinese descent, my parents are from China making me Dutch-Chinese. I’m able to speak 3 languages Dutch, Cantonese, and English. In my spare time i like to go to the gym. It keeps me distracted/calm mentally and physically and its healthy for you so its a win-win. also I really enjoy cooking from time to time. Chopping the onions, making porridge, Steaming the broccoli, etc. I think its important for someone to watch what they are consuming in a everyday bases. I enjoy listening to music i usually listen R&B and hip-hop or anything that comes on the radio. In the past I traveled to several bordering countries London, England seeing tourist attractions like Big Ben, Buckingham palace, going down the tube. Also to Paris, France seeing the Eifel tower, going to Notre Dame cathedral and also seeing the Mona Lisa in person. I can guarantee you if you ever have the chance to go to Europe you should do it you won’t regret it. Something i enjoy doing is learning more about my Asian Culture. Since i came to the States i have been much closer to my roots than years past. understanding the language more and speaking more often. It brings me closer to my ancestors. I’m excited about my new chapter in life. I hope here at Baruch I can make more lasting memories for years to come.
I find it cool that you were born in the Netherlands!
It’s so cool that you’re trilingual!
Very cool being able to speak three languages.
Must have been really nice to go to different countries in Europe!
I agree!! The gym does wonders!!!!
Thanks for this introduction. I am curious to hear more about how you integrate your Dutch, Chinese, and American identities. I also think it’s interesting that you have become more connected to your Chinese identity since moving to NYC!
