IF I COULD TOUCH THE STARS... The JCS( Japanese Chinese Store ) is in my opinion the coolest community close to the university campus where I learn. It's a symbol of how I get to learn different perspectives and cultures. I've always been fascinated by the power of diversity. I've always wanted to build monuments in people's hearts. Which practically means creating impact that begets impact. In all the people I admire I've noticed this as an underlying trait. I see it in my lecturers Gilbert Mwale , Eddie Nyimbwa as well as friends of family like Victor Amedzo Kanyama. Then there are people who I've only been afforded the opportunity to meet in person once like Joshua Nott (I'm super grateful that he introduced me to Chris Welhoelter and James Savage ), Masiliso Mutumba & Muloongo Muchelemba and how can I forget Chris Maurice ? As things should be, some of them are my peers ( Chileleko Mapiki , Chifula Nambela , Alicia Johnson and Alinase Nyirenda ). Truthfully the list is endless. I've gotten really curious about the world and some of the problems that exist (Or maybe I've been watching too much of the news). Some of them keep me up at night such as knowing that Internet Accessibility is still a significant barrier to accessing information. And there are still issues to do with net neutrality. There are also people that I interact with virtually that in a way have become just as important to me even though I am not always consistent with my responses. People like Thomas Beutel, Joel Zaslofsky and Eden Tadesse. Often on my night time walks home from school, my mind tends to get flooded by many questions. Some of which are : Will my long hours in the library add up to the career I desire and deserve? How much of the world will I actually get to experience? Am I worthy of success? What is my personal identity based on? In a way, that's the beauty about human existence. The future is what it is because we cannot predict it ( at least not completely anyway).

Humbled that you mentioned me. You're asking great questions. Never stop asking, it is the source of joy in creativity.

Interesting, my thought is that - a good student in life always asks WHY? Wishing you the best as you grow.
