Who Am I?

I’m from a small island called Bermuda, the devil isle. It’s about 800 miles off the coast of North Carolina. Has a population approximately around 67,000 people and only 21 square miles. I have a huge family mostly consisting females. I have an older brother and sister who both attended college, and I’m the last one to attend college. Since there are a lot of females in my family, it gives the young guys in my family a lot of responsibilities. I have a lot of younger cousins, so being this age, gives the younger people look up to.
In my spare time, I enjoy working on myself. For example, I try to meditate every day to help me align certain things spiritually. Also I like to work out, mainly push-ups, sit ups, and other body work out techniques. I also like to work on personal projects and play video games, but mainly FIFA. I like to cook food as well, some say I’m a chef but I’m nowhere near that.
I have too past experiences that define me today. The first one which impacted my life was when I was in middle school. I was involved in a bike accident and was hospitalized for some time but I recovered fully. I feel like that opened up my eyes on how I view the world. And another past experience which impacted my life was playing football at a level where I could have been playing professional football in England. That open my eyes to when you fail don’t lose ambition, because you never know what other doors may open up, when another one closes. I always keep the end in view.
The main thing I find valuable in my life is providing for my family, and finding my purpose of life, which comes with impacting the earth to a certain degree, obviously in a positive way. Working hard brought me to the landing school. I was working as a barge laborer doing labor things and learning the trade of dealing with composite boat building. I had a mentor Douglas Sutherland who taught me mostly everything I know about boats until I came to school. I was doing a job for the company for a client Malcolm Kirkland, and he was impressed with my fiber glassing skills and my age. The day he saw me in person, he told me about the school, and some financial aid that I can get, I was intrigued and my mentor/ colleague pushed it on me to apply as soon as I get home, and that’s what I did. I stayed patient and humble until I got any information back, and that worked out for me.
