To New Zealand and Beyond!

After I was done with college I returned to San Deigo to attend a fire sceince class that my dad was teaching. When I finished that I became a full firefighter then I moved back to New Zealand and become a dual citizen. I lived there for one year, working and making music on my spare time. I returned agian to Guinea for the world drumming competition, this time thrid place wasnt good enough, I returned to Nelson with the first place trophy and an idea that would shape the course of the rest of my life.

From now to then

Its hard to define a future without actually being there there to know what happens, but I can describe the things that I hope to happen even if they do not actually happen.

I will by explaining what I hope will happen in my high school and my college years. I went to high school at high tech high international and spent my junior year in New Zealand with my aunt and uncle. My aspiration for high school was really t0 become a great drummer, I went on several trips to africa and learned everything there is to being a good drummer, during this time I also went surfing almost everyday. On one of my trips to africa I competed in the Guinea national drum competition and won 3rd place. During my senior year of high school I applied to the College of North West Nelson and was accepted as a preforming arts: music major. I spent four years, in new zealand, every summer making trips to africa, and finally obtained my BA and my schooling was over, but my education was not.
