My name is Michael Commissiong, I live in Brooklyn, and I have just recently turned 18 years old. My family and I are from the island of Grenada, in which I had lived there for about a year. In my free time, I like to hang out with my friends, play handball, and breakdance. Starting college, I was originally quite nervous of how I would make new friends and the amount of work that would piled onto me. However, in one way or another, I was quite relieved. People in my classes are friendly and social and my teachers are very welcoming and understanding. I would hope to eventually find some kind of career or purpose in life that I’d strive to pursue in college, though that has not happened yet, I am slowly but surely coming to a conclusion. Growing up in a poor but extremely family oriented household, I learned that the ideal purpose for one’s life is to help and support others to the best of your ability while still maintaining your own well-being as well. Hopefully, with this mindset, I shall, in time, be able to truly define what I want to do in life.
