Education (request update)

Howard University class of 2016

Undergrad Major: Health Administration

Claim To Fame:

Several years ago whilst all of my peers and I in Trinidad were all preparing to leave for College in the U.S and Canada, my dreams were halted immediately when my father suffered a heart attack, which swiftly eroded my tuition. This situation made me the person I am today. I sought employment to assist in managing my parent�s household but not loosing sight of my goal to save so I may return to the United States to complete my studies. Nature finds a way to adapt and overcome, so I decided to do the same. Now to present day, I am able to say that the struggles I overcame sharpened the tools that I needed to become successful in my endeavors now.

Most Memorable Moment:

During my schooling in New York city before transferring to Howard University, it was my intention to motivate my peers to not only complete school but excel. Hence, the opportunity to lead the Business Enterprise Club presented itself which i undertook. This did not go unnoticed and I was subsequently chosen by my former school (BMCC) to be featured in a full page article done by the New York Daily News which highlighted the top performers within the CUNY system of New York Universities and Colleges. see link below http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/trinidad-native-richard-kajim-pursues-construction-management-dreams-borough-manhattan-community-college-article-1.974277

High School: Diego Martin Government Secondary in Port of Spain, Trinidad , class of 1995

Activities & Accomplishments:

Former Secretary of my High School Alumni committee, Brown belt in Jiu Jitsu,

Best Memories:

An english teacher, Ms. Williams, always motivated me to try just a little harder when I felt like giving up. She was stern but always fair in her delivery. Surprisingly, this dialogue continues to this day. I always cherished the feeling of accomplishment during high school because of this educator.
