My name is Ali Djire and I am currently a Junior Business Administration and Agriculture double major at Berea College. &nbsp;I was born and raised in Burkina Faso, also known as&nbsp;“the Country of Upright Men," up until 2009&nbsp;when&nbsp;I joined the African Leadership Academy in South Africa to further my education.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The African Leadership Academy (ALA), which is a Pan-African school seeking to develop the next generation of leaders, is a prestigious school that gathers the brightest young people from all over the African continent .&nbsp; For a period of two years, ALA provides students with an intense education in Leadership, Entrepreneurship, African Studies as well as the Cambridge A-level. Upon completion of my education at ALA, I embarked on another journey to&nbsp;Berea College in Berea,&nbsp;Kentucky. A historic school that is not only committed to excellence but also equal opportunity for all, Berea has provided me with a great opportunity for self-awareness, service and leadership.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The work-study program at Berea enables me to enhance my professional development&nbsp;while nurturing my work ethic. Additionally, my involvement with the Student Government Association, the African Students Association and the Mortar Board Honor Society has added a different flavor to my understanding of service and leadership. In fact, it only took me a few months to understand that great leaders are primarily great at providing services. Besides academics and labor, I stay active while having fun. I am part of the school track and field team and the ultimate Frisbee team.
