GET TO KNOW SAMUEL:

One thing people might not know about you? 

People may not know that I have been singing, playing the piano, and trumpet since before elementary school. I have played in serval orchestras, festivals and bands. 

What is your favourite film or book? 

My favourite film is Inception, it’s complexity and mind-bending plot make it very entertaining. There are important details throughout the film that must be paid attention to that add to the overall cohesiveness of the story. Once the film is at the resolution, the feeling you get is almost indescribable. Making you want to watch it once more. 

What was your favourite trip you’ve taken? 

My favourite trip was going to Hawaii with my family when I was 12, it was my first time there. The weather in Maui was very pleasant and the scenery was so beautiful. We got to visit several locations and got to attend a Luau. Having the privilege to see the Hawaiian culture and trying the amazing food first-hand was an experience I won’t forget. 

What are 3 words you would use to describe yourself?

Thoughtful, driven, and personable are words I would use to describe myself.

What is your favourite Quote? Or lyric?

My high school basketball coach would always say “If you want crazy results, you’ve got to have a crazy work-ethic”  his quote always stuck with me because of how brutally honest it is and how it applies to several aspects of life. Many people want to be successful, but only a few are willing to put in the required work it takes to achieve such goals.
