About

Hello! My name is Chukwuemeka (or Emeka for short) Ume-Ezeoke and I'm a 17 year old Senior at Dulles High School. I'm a character with a lot of high goals for myself, and prepared for any challenges headed my way. I plan to grasp a better and grander understanding of life outside of social standards in my community as I get older. Becoming an engineer has always been a big goal of mine since elementary and through strong work ethic and high abilities for myself, I may see my dream come into fruition within Baylor through the electrical & computer engineering major. Besides having a strong head for high achievement for engineering, I also heavily enjoy music as well. Through Dulles Middle School and Dulles High School, I've played Tenor Trombone and Tuba, even being placed in the top band for 3 straight years in high school on tuba. Playing these instruments wasn't something I would have first expected myself to truly enjoy, but as time went on, I even once considered committing to a career in fine arts due to my growing love for the industry. I've gained high rewards for my talents in Band for example, 6 straight years of getting high ratings (Rating 1) for Solo & Ensemble and evening making TMEA Region band my freshman year and senior year of high school. In general, I'm a very versatile person with really big dreams in the world, and I'll stop at nothing to complete my goals and better the world as a whole.
