My Journey


My name is Evando Ricardo Cardoso do Nascimento
I am currently a a first year student at Wells College located in Upstate New York.
I was born in Angola, Luanda for those of you who don't know where that is it is localized in Southern Africa near Namibia and Zambia. My parents are both Angolans who that makes me %100 African! the official language spoken there is Portuguese, I speak fluent Portuguese.
Back in 1993 our Family moved to the United States, Queens, New York was my home for the next 9 years! We moved back to Africa soon enough and years later I ended up here back in the U.S.
I would've loved to attend College in New York City but all those distractions would have kept from me from studying so coming to all the way to Wells College was the best idea, its located in a quite area, peaceful, the best thing about Wells since I've been here would have to be the traditions and the people who are surprisingly very nice. I say that because back in my old High school and the past schools I have attended I have encountered nothing but snobby people with bad attitudes, so coming here to Wells and meeting all these nice people has been a surprise to me.

My life has been full of twists and turns and ups and downs, I have come a long way, and hope to keep it going.
