Hello, I am James Morgan, whom many of you will come to know over my collegiate career. I am from Chicago, Illinois and plan to pursue a degree in computer science and engineering. I love sports, no matter what it is. You can typically find me watching or participating in any sport you can think of. I am also big on reading, sleeping, music, and expressing myself based on my beliefs. I play a lot of football and basketball. I’m big on Marvel comics and movies. I pride myself on being pretty optimistic to everyone’s views. I like to experience new things and somehow integrate that into everyday life. I also take joy in helping others in any way I can. If I see someone having a bad day, I approach them with a smile and ask about it. I have always believed that even the slightest bit of interest or belief in a person goes a long way to post their morale. This is why I enjoy helping people; so they know that someone somewhere is looking out for them, whether they know it or not.
As I learner, I am always up for it. I know I do not know everything, but I take pride in the things I do know, and embrace the challenge of expanding my knowledge. Learning to me is having the ability to grasp different concepts and perspectives on a certain topic and then coming with you own conclusion based on those different viewpoints. That is true insight. Learning new things leads to a better understanding of the world around us, and the many cultures that may bring us together.
