Elijah Van Dyke

I am as diverse as it gets, from being adopted at birth, to having two older brothers who are non-biological, and another brother from Uganda, Africa. While also, my parents being white and growing up in a predominantly white area and culture. I have traveled to and experience many different cultures, for example, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Honduras. Ireland, Africa, and many more states. I am as diverse as it gets but I have learned so much. My work-ethic is unmatched, and I have a unique ability to manage my time and remain organized very easily. An example is my life from October 2022-May 2023 consisted of working three jobs while taking 21 credits this semester and maintaining a 3.65 GPA. I have the discipline, drive, and effort to be a successful individual that can be counted on. I may not be the smartest in the room, and I believe you should not be the smartest in the room, if you are you are too comfortable. But I will work the hardest-and give my maximum effort. People can depend on me that I will get the job done or I will show up when I am supposed to be. I am an easy-going person that leaves his ego at the door and wanting to learn and receive constructive criticism am wanting to be a team player to accomplish the goal at hand. I am able to get along and work with anyone.
