My name is Mauwa Soumahoro but I prefer to be called Mawa Soum, only because most people don’t really know how to pronounce my name. I am a female so I would definitely prefer HER/SHE due to all respect. Furthermore i was born and raised in New York City, literally grew up in the Bronx my whole life. High school was a very complicated road for me overall. I put my all into getting my education, now that I am now a college student I have set standards for myself. My goal is to never give up on myself no matter how difficult or stressful it can’t be. Everyday won’t be a rainy day for you. Eventually the sun will rise which means the more I work hard, in the end it’ll all be worth everything. 
   Moving on, someone very meaningful to me is my parents. The love that I have for them is unconditional and means more than a lot to me. Seeing them struggle together and even motivate one another made me look at family in a different way. Family is something that shouldnt be played with , it should be taken very seriously and also treated with love. When my parents are able to get along and sort out their differences it truly brings the family together and also brings nothing but the best into our home. I am an only child so I do get to have things my way but when I’m wrong then it is normal for me to face the consequences. Although my dad isn’t alive anymore, my mother does work very hard to make sure she can provide for me at all times. She does a great job playing both roles as a parent, so it is only right for me to do everything that I can to be successful. Everything that I do in this world is for both my mom and dad, most importantly it’ll be beneficial for me in the future.
