Since birth through the age of 15, my life has taken place in Jersey City, New Jersey. Born and raised only 9 blocks away from the hospital I was born in. My family moved to Georgia only 2 years ago, since then many things have changed in our lives. Most of my family still lives in New Jersey and New York so I often go back to visit them. Not many things have changed from the neighborhood I lived in. Since there has not been much, every time I go to visit, not a moment passes by where I am not noticing how I have changed. I can happily say that I am not the person I used to be when I lived in Jersey. While my life in Jersey was great and filled with many happy memories, I also experienced many hardships there as well. An example of one of the

I was born in New Orleans Louisiana 1996, where I’ve spent my whole life. Although my family was moved here by a pull factor long before I came along. The pull factor was a job for my grandfather at the United Fruit Factory which was located in the city of New Orleans, which he then moved and established his family. It all started in part of Orleans Parish known as the “Lower Ninth Ward” where my great great grandmother and grandfather bought their first Shotgun home together on Claiborne St. It then was passed down through generations eventually becoming my grandmothers. I attended Martin Luther King Jr. School there in the Lower Ninth Ward.

I have lived in Michigan for my whole life.   The state of Michigan itself is a very unique place, but even more unique is the upper peninsula of Michigan.   The UP is barely more than three percent of the population of Michigan.   We 're known as Yoopers, many people think of us as rednecks that sit around and hunt all day.   Though the opening days of hunting season means most of the teachers are gone for hunting, there is a lot more to the UP than hunting.

I 'm a laid back guy, who enjoys spending time with my friends, trying new things, and meeting new people. I love living in the city since there 's always something to do. I 'm an engineer and enjoy my job and its challenges; but, I spend all day in an office and by the end of the day I 'd rather go out and have some fun than go straight home and call it a night. I 'm from a military family, so I grew up overseas and lived in the mid-west after college; but I 've always call Maryland home. I love adventures, city life, the Ravens, concerts & festivals, and just hanging out with friends - since it’s more about the company than the event, I’m typically up for anything.

The way I felt about my city and my surroundings had a strong correlation with the way I felt about myself. Prior to this realization, my dreams and aspirations for the future were minimal. I performed well throughout elementary school, and I was moved up a grade because my reading and math skills were advanced. However, when I began attending middle school, the new atmosphere combined with all of the new awareness I gained as I started transitioning from a child to an adolescent ended up in me lowering the expectations I had for myself. Once I regained my optimism and saw that Oakland is not what people say it is, I began seeing life in an optimistic way as

I 'm not a native of Pennsylvania. Anyone can tell that from my intense love of snow and fall, two things you couldn 't find in a South Florida city like where I lived, where temperatures were always high and foliage stayed the same year round. If you were born in Pennsylvania, you grew up hearing people tell stories of hitting a deer at night meanwhile I grew up hearing stories of people finding alligators in their backyard. Most people know what it 's like to move to a new place, whether it 's a new town, state or country, however, I feel my dramatic move along with the circumstances surrounding it are unique. It taught me that you can make the best out of even the worst situations.
