Hi,
I guess I can start by saying my name is Aminata Sesay. A very creative way to start isn’t it? The name Aminata is of African Senegal origin . Most individuals in North Africa are of Muslim faith and therefore tend to use Muslim, Arabic names to name there children. Aminata mean’s good character and trustworthy. I am from west Africa Sierra Leone, (Freetown). I’ve live in Brooklyn New York all my life. I can still vividly remember coming to America for the first time hoping to witness the perfect nirvana or paradise that everyone spoke so highly of; to live the American dream. But everything was the complete opposite , from the bizarrely high buildings to ice falling out the sky.
I am fairly your topical youth adult, trying my hardest to balance school, work, family, friends and even a relationship when Mr. Right comes around. I admit,I’m far from perfect, in fact am nowhere near. But I’m a well rounded, quiet,fun individual that love the color green. I am really excited about this class.
Welcome, Aminata! I love your descriptions of the difference of New York from the world you expected to find here. You said that you have lived in Brooklyn your whole life, but that you remember coming to America. Those sound contradictory–maybe you meant that you’ve lived in Brooklyn ever since you moved to America? It sounds like you have a great story to write! I’m glad I got to meet you last week, and I look forward to getting to know what makes you a well-rounded, fun person as we get acquainted this semester!
