My name is John Holemans and I grew up in Belgium. Being the eldest of four siblings and the Chief of the Boy Scouts in my native country, I came to appreciate collectivism rather than individualism. At a young age, I traveled to many countries in Central and Eastern Europe, and South Asia. My fascination with other cultures and conversations with people from these cultures have contributed significantly to my outlook and intellectual growth. My major at Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC) is accounting, though recently, I have discovered a new passion for statistics and reconnected with math. My dream is to become certified as an actuary.
I live by the motto…”I wake up with determination and finish my day satisfied.”
