[Introduction] A Harvard Student With Humble Beginnings

Hey there, I’m Dajon...

...and I’m really excited about joining the steemit community! I’m 20 and I’m a student in my 3rd year at Harvard University studying Computational Neuroscience.

I was very thrilled when my mom told me about steemit! Ever since I found out, I’ve been traveling down the rabbit hole of cryptocurrency. This seems like a great opportunity to explore the ever-exciting cryptoworld, to learn from you all and share my perspective.

I think this is a time for discovery for everyone and I am eager to begin this journey with you.

A little more about me:

I’m from South Florida, born and raised, and my family is from Jamaica. My father has never been a part of my life, it's mostly been my mom, my brother and me.

Since I was a kid, times have been tough... but I haven't let that deter me. I worked my ass off, got into Harvard and am in the process of finding my place, which I think is something we all face throughout our lives. Nevertheless, I am very thankful for the support from my family, teachers and friends and blessed to have been given the opportunities that I have to succeed. The dream doesn't end here...

Apart from being a student, I write stories, poems and I make films. The ability to create things, to make magic has added a lot of meaning to my life and I believe that art and creativity are powerful instruments, ones we all use.

Some of my favorite shows: the Leftovers, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, the Walking Dead, Stranger Things and LOST.

Subjects of Interest (to name a few): Evolutionary Biology, Astronomy, Astrology (I'm a Leo), Cartography and New Media. I love words. I study neuroscience, but I'm incredibly fascinated by so many things and am always finding ways to connect them and push the boundaries for myself.... which is why I think it's so important to tell your story because there are no rules in the world of storytelling.

Well that's me! I hope you enjoyed my introduction. Every day conjures a new space in your heart for hope, love and imagination... thank you for reading and I hope to talk to you soon.
