ALL ABOUT ME
My name is Akilah Wright and I am 22 years old. I was born in Cleveland, OH where my parents and youngest sister, a senior in high school, still reside. My other little sister is a sophomore at the University of Cincinnati and my older brother, a graduate of the United States Air Force Academy, is currently stationed at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas. In 2009, I graduated in the top 10% of my class at St. Peter Chanel High School in Bedford, OH. My siblings and I are first generation college students.
I take joy in many things in this life. My favorite color is blue, but I also like the color red. I like listening to music when I have down time or am doing work. My favorite animal is the lion because of its strength and courage. Dancing is one of my favorite things to do (one of my favorite dance videos is below) although I like working out and playing a number of other sports. Growing up I loved participating in track, basketball, football, gymnastics, volleyball and cheerleading. Of course I am working towards becoming a teacher and I will have a certificate to teach all elementary school subjects, but my all-time favorite subject is English Language Arts. I can get lost in books, grammar and all things ELA. Last, but not least, I love to eat! My favorite restaurant is Red Lobster, hands down. Before I ever wanted to be a teacher, I wanted to be a culinary chef. Deep down, I still aspire to do so one day.
