At the age of four, I was diagnosed with Epilepsy, this is one secret in the past that I would usually have kept from many of my classmates because I didn’t want people to look at me differently/treat me any different, but I have learned to Embrace my disorder.

In my spare time, I love to be with my family & friends, I also enjoy traveling around the world, so far I have been to Texas, Mississippi, & California, and I enjoy reading, one of my biggest goals is to finish writing my first book, four more of my lifetime goals that I will like to achieve/complete is too Own my very own Business one day in the future, Build my Home from the ground up and to visit Florida, New York City, Tennessee & Canada and eventually start a family (I would love to become a father one day).
