Starting off with the first picture, my country of origin. Many people mistake me for being Indian or being from the Middle East. That is completely false. I am from a country called Suriname, located in South American. The unique thing about my country is that it’s a Dutch colony and that being said, I also know how to speak Dutch, surprisingly.

The second picture depicts my love for basketball. Ever since a child, I’ve been playing competitively. Basketball has always been with me and was a key source in staying out of trouble. It also distracted me from my school work, but that wasn’t important at the time. Also, the Miami Heats represents where I grew up, Miami, Florida.

The third picture, and most important to me, is weight lifting. I took up this new activity as a way to kill time after school. But it turned out to be one of my greatest devotions since the age of twelve. Helped to burn off stress, whatever stress I thought I had, and was a way to escape the world and to be in my own personal one.

The fourth picture depicts my love for music. Mostly music from the Caribbean or around that genre. My favorite artist is Vybz Kartel, mainly because his style attracted me. But nevertheless, whatever profanity he sings about, is a way to express himself and I admire the courageousness.

My favorite fruit being the coconut. Growing up in a tropical state and being from South American/Caribbean region, this my favorite fruit. I would grow a tree of them if i could, but unfortunately I can’t.

Lastly, I love the idea of money. Growing up, the mentality of my family was to earn money. I started to save in a little piggy bank at the age of five. I never liked the idea of spending money, because than it would mean that i would have less. And I couldn’t let my stack decrease. So, basically my main goal in life is to make money. The reason for my being in Baruch.
