Bios

concept:

I was born in the late 80’s in Abidjan, Côte D’Ivoire, West Africa. I had 6 siblings. At the age of 6, I went to a primary school called Sicogi. I was a very smart boy, and I was interested in sports. During that period, I played soccer with my friends almost every day, and I was not too bad at it and wanted to be a professional soccer player later. After 3rd grade, I went to live with my grandmother in another place but in the same city. There, it was a bit different. I had no friends anymore. I spent all my adolescence with her before getting my secondary school degree called Baccalaureate in my country's education system. I studied Sports at university for 4 years and became a sports teacher at a high school for 11 years. On January 1st, I came to Canada with my spouse, whom I’ve been married to for 6 years. Since then, we’ve been living In Greater Sudbury, ON. At the very beginning, it was quite strange to live in a smaller city than where we used to live, but we got used to it. We are now students at Laurentian University, Sudbury, ON, to become teachers from 4th grade to 10th grade. We don’t have children, but we plan to have some later.

I’m very grateful to be here in Canada and I look forward to making my dreams come true.
