Meet UIW Students

Teddy Namirembe
Childhood Development/Education
Uganda

My name is Teddy Namirembe.  I am from Uganda but I went to high school in Dallas, and I graduated from Bishop Lynch High School. I am a sophomore at UIW and I am Studying Childhood Development in Education.  I am involved in Student Ambassador and RA (Resident Assistant).

My freshmen year, I was involved in Student Government in which I was a senator for international students and I was the president for the International Student Association.

I love my life at UIW. No matter what problems I have or if I miss my family, I still move on with my life.  I do not dwell on the negatives but instead I think of the good things and let the problems and the challenges disappear.  I act and feel like a person who achieves anything and helps others. I live my life to the fullest. I strive to achieve my goals, do a good job, and have confidence and self esteem. I want to be important and valuable to others. I am a great listener, charming, spontaneous, generous, optimistic, very outgoing, caring, happy, and a great friend to others. I try to always be honest, courageous and reliable. I also try to be a person with good character. I enjoy the adventure of life and I celebrate my great achievements.
