Hello my name is James Simmons i am  african american  male and  i was born in staten island new.york. at the age of two i was raised in harlem for two years and since then  i been going there every weekend. my mother taught me at a young age to never forget where you came from my mother made a good example of this by taking me to see her family in jamaica every summer. my mother was a immigrant  she came to staten island when she was 17 from jamaica. my father was born in raised staten island.  my family was  was a middle class family, and i was raised with values as religious christian a try to attend church every sunday but in reality i go every other sunday. I dont think this is good though.

Some abilities that i have is i am a very good critical/logical thinker. i think i am very open minded to almost every thing  which helps 
me in  a loot of different situations which also help to become very social and blend in with alot of new things.Things that i like is  music & poetry  i like all types of music that fits the mood that im in.  Some volunteer work that i have done was new yorkers care which is helping new yorks in need and spending time with them.  Some issues that i care about is global warming because i think we are responsible are earth changing i am also concerned about wars and also politics in our world to this day.  like i said about traditional values i have a very large family  that show alot of love support and  advice on certain issues and i always count on them for the right answer. Some future careers i have is to play professional basketball overseas and to also become a basketball trainer for a professional basketball team and also  i would like to become a veterinarian  also.
