I’m a white male, among the first generation in my family to go to college. I was born in Italy, and we all moved here to America. My family went through very tough times before I was born and when we first moved here (i can elaborate on this a lot more in my essays).
I am fluent in Bosnian and English.
Intended major: Computer science
Hobbies: produced electronic music 2 & 1/2 years, digital art, currently learning to code, video production/editing, and a little bit of photgraphy.
Tried to make the formatting as neat as possible, sorry if it comes out as messy!
