Dramane Bagayoko (as written by him)

​

Hi. I'm Dramane Bagayoko,

 

I was born in 1990 in Dialakoro, Mali. I have 4 brothers and 11 sisters. I am then youngest. I came to the United States of America to study English. I was here for about a year.

​

Growing up I often thought I would like to get a good education. I was very happy when I learned that I would be able to come to [America] with the help of Building Youth Around the World.

​

I hope to get a degree in political science. I believe that getting my education will give me the experience I need to  build up  my community, and change their lives for the better.

 

In Mali I used to take photographs, play  soccer, hang out with my friends and family. I am very excited to be here. I have seen snow, made new friends, and started my education.
