HASSAN KROMAH
My name is Hamza Kromah and I am from Margibi county Liberia. I was given the opportunity by NationOne Academy to come to the United State in order to continue my education, become a better person in today’s society and fulfill my goals in life. This is a hard task to complete as a kid coming from Liberia. It’s harder than anyone can imagine. Leaving my family and friends especially is the most difficult part. It was unbearable to leave my four siblings who have been with me since I was born.
As a kid from Liberia, who has been on the other side of life, I work hard in school to make use of the opportunity I was given to gain a better education and to fulfill my dreams. During my free time, I play video games in order to keep my mind off things and socialize with my friends around me in my school community.
I always had the mindset of becoming a professional soccer player growing up as many other kids in my country with the same goal. I believe once you are willing to put the work in and live for the game, it all should go as a plan. The great Pele once said “Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.” This is one of my favorites quotes. It’s all how hard you work towards your goals in life. It motivates me to work harder, to want it all, and just give all I possibly can. We have to be hungry for our own success. When I become a successful person and have the ability to impact other kids from my home Liberia, I will give it all. I will share the journey that I went through and the tools I used to become successful.
