"Champs are made and born!"
I share my personal story of going to school in Kenya when I was young boy and learning Swahili as an early language. I share how I overcame a medical condition and played in a number of sports from an early age through Walnut Hills High School all while maintaining excellent grades and receiving honors. My heart of service has always been a throughline in my life volunteering in school and in my church, as a camp counselor for middle schoolers and high schoolers.
