Reporter/Photographer
What's
up, My name is Ajah Omari Smith and I was born in 1984, in the U.S Virgin
Islands (on island of St. Thomas). I moved to New York City with my mother
and my sister. Growing up in a big city was a major adjustment for me coming
from a much smaller place like St. Thomas. I am a very shy and quiet person,
yet on some occasions I will not be shy and quiet, if I choose not to be.
Otherwise as far as my personality goes, I am a nice person and friendly,
to a certain extent. I am 5' 7" and I pl ay varsity basketball for my high
school team, Central Park East Secondary School. I have been playing varsity
basketball for my school since I was a freshman. I have been the point guard
for most of the time but I am being turned into shooting guard because I have
become a more effective scoring threat. Besides playing basketball in my spare
time, I like to chill with my friends and play a variety of other sports.
As far as my future goes I am almost done with high school and I plan to attend
college and major in marine biology, (mainly because I was born on an island
and I like the water and the things in it). Besides just being a regular college
student I want to play basketball for the school that I attend. Hopefully
after I get out of college I will get a job in Marine biology and from this
I want to build a successful career as a Marine biologist.
