Who Am I and What Do I Stand For?

My name is Jonathan Teounda Ouedraogo. Born in 1991 in Montpellier, France but, raised in Burkina Faso, I come from a family of five. I usually don't like writing about myself but this is an assignment from my ENGL 191 instructor, so here I go. About 5'8 feet tall, I have black eyes, dark-brown skin and blak hair. I'm a big fan of gospel music and as a matter of fact I play guitar and piano. I also have hobbies like playing baskelball or football; not the "egg-ball" that Americans call football, but the football that you actually play with your foot. So that is about who I am.
  
Soon after getting my A'level diploma (which would be high school diploma here in the USA) in 2009, I left my home country and ended up in the United States of America. Once there I started a Mechanical Engineering program.
