My name is Louis Acheampong. I am eighteen years old and I attend school at East Hartford. I was born in West Africa, Ghana.
I live with my Mom, Dad and my little brother who just turned seven. My mom has two jobs, and also takes College classes so I try helping her in cooking, and sometimes her homework. My dad is also a delivery worker. They are both my mentors because they inspire me to work as hard as they do.

My hobbies are playing soccer, basketball, cooking and writing.

My SAT does not reflect what I am capable of doing because I still struggle taking American standardized tests, but I will find a way to prove that I can achieve in college and beyond.
I am planning to go to college to pursue my dream of becoming a physical therapist, a pharmacist or a child psychologist. I have always wanted to help others and also make different in other people’s
