DAMIAN JOB KAHAMBA

In my professional life, I have learned that the result of life for an individual is from working hard, but the result of Life for the whole group of people is to give people education about how systems work to help them make informed decisions and ensuring that the whole group makes systemic changes. The opportunity that I have here at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical university is part of me being educated so that I can make the right decisions in my life with regards to how I can work myself up through the system. My role in the community is to be able to help others get education and make a difference as a whole community at large. I also believe strongly in hard work, my hope in Life is to work effectively to change the family history and to convince people that anything is possible if you work hard and care about your community in terms of how to systematically make the necessary changes.
