Who is He?

Who is he? Many of you must have asked that as I walked into class today. Although I did briefly introduce myself in class today, there’s much more to a person than a name, major and place of origin.
So let me elaborate. My name is Obinna Ngini,  but I don’t mind being called Obi. I was born on a little after midnight on the 17th of May, 1993 in Lagos State, Nigeria. I lived in Nigeria for all my life up to when I left for the Ohio State University. I have an older brother and an older sister who I love very much. I am a freshman at the Ohio State, and this is my second quarter. I am a Catholic Christian.
I see myself as a dependable and strong-willed person. I love to have fun, but I get my work done when I need to. I am quite stubborn at times, but I can still listen to other opinions. I tend to think a lot, and as a result I usually catch myself daydreaming.
I love to read a lot.  I started reading when I was little and still read as much as I can. I prefer to read a  good book sometimes to watching television. With my congested schedule nowadays however, it is hard to read a lot, but I squeeze in what I can. I don’t really like ebooks, I prefer to turn the page myself.
I hope this class helps me improve as a writer as I struggle to put down a lot when I write. I am looking forward to get to know everyone in the class.

  2. Ooooh I'm an international student too! :-) And I'm Roman Catholic as well. And yeah, I hate how some classes have their required material online. My eyes get strained and it's so uncomfortable reading from a laptop! Plus you usually can't sell online material after you're done with it.

  3. Being stubborn but still being able to listen to others opinions is the best way to go. Thats exactly how I am too.

  5. Just out of curiosity, why did you choose to attend OSU? Since I am from Ohio, I always knew this is where I would end up. I am very interested in why others choose OSU. :)
