About   (request update)
Throughout my life I've been through dilemmas in which the average person my age hasn't.I grew up in a poor neighborhood where crime took it's toll on the people in it. I have a lot to be thankful for. I noticed it more and more as I got older while attending high school I struggled because we my family never could stay put in one location.The landlord would have enough with unpaid bills and finally kick us out leaving us to find a home within a few months,weeks, and sometimes even days.This continuous struggle started when I was six years old.My family had a house fire that changed my whole life. After the fire we lived in a motel for thirty days until my parents found a home. The red cross offered us a home in Creighton court,a project subdivision in Richmond, VA. We've gradually made our way back to living a normal life. I was the kid who always was teased in school because i didn't have the nicest pair of sneakers, but I learned to face adversity because I have big dreams of one day winning a Nobel peace prize. So many opportunities have passed me by simply because I could't afford them, but I won't let money get in the way. Money isn't everything to me.I enjoy life for the priceless things. For example, traveling. While being dragged through the school system I would always be the kid ok with becoming friends with other kids who were teased because of their ethnicity and so I became fascinated.I believe in hospitality.Because I believe in it so much, I've made friends who were once foreign exchanged students. I have one friend who lives in Madrid spain, another from india, and even iraq. I would love to be a tourist.

Life & Professional Aspirations:
