I am from Senegal. My native language I speak is Wolof. We were occupied by the French, so the second language I speak is French. I don’t speak English very well, but I am learning more words everyday. The more words I learn, the more I can connect with many people, and bring greater joy to the world. This is what inspires me to live in wonder.

My grandad shared this with me when I was very young, and I still hold his words true today. A teacher can open the door, but you have to walk through it on your own. So having the couragious curiosity to step into the unknown and trust that what you need to succeed you already have with you. This is what inspires me to live in wonder.

My eyesight went before I turned 18 years of age. I could have been depressed. I could have sat in a corner and had pity on myself. Instead I chose a life of “I can” instead of “I can’t” and learned that you don’t need your eyes to see. This is what inspires me to live in wonder.
