How did you find out about Manor College?

I found out about Manor through a friend who went there and told me more about the soccer program. 

What is your earliest sports memory?

My earliest sports memory was when I was ten and my friends and I were playing in the streets. We kicked the ball into the neighbor's compound. We jumped the fence to go get the ball and got chased by his dog!

When did you start playing soccer? 

I've been playing soccer since I was the age of 3. I got a ball as a birthday gift and stuck to it ever since. The field is the only place where you can see me genuinely happy and it's where I can find peace. 

If you could have dinner with any four people throughout history, who would it be and why?

If I could have dinner with any four people, the first one would be Kei Kamara. He's a soccer legend in Sierra Leone and I've always looked up to him. I'm taking the same pathway he did to go pro, so I'd like to talk to him and ask for advice on how he did it and how I should apply it to me. The next is Lionel Messi, because he is the greatest to ever play the game of soccer and he's also my idol. The third would be Barack Obama, because he showed great leadership and proved that anything is possible no matter where you come from. Then lastly would be everyone in my family, especially my mom, because she always supposed me, pushed me to be the best in school, soccer and life.
