The Life & Times of Dwayne Edwards

The Life & Times of Dwayne Edwards

     I would like to start by introducing myself. My name is Dwayne Edwards and I was born on July fifth at Brigham & Womens Hospital, Boston MA, to my parents Angela and Peter Edwards. My family is originally from Barbados, but traveled to the United States with hopes of a better life for themselves. They moved to mattapan and that is where I resided for most of my childhood. In my neighboorhood a lot of crimes took place. Due to my mother, I as well as my siblings stayed out of trouble and led a pretty straight forward life. If asked, I would descirbe myself as a easy going young man who is working hard to make it to a comfortable space, where I can provide for my family and I. Currently I am employeed at Mass General Hospital. I am a die hard PATS fan who never misses a game, and is 100 percent sure of the Patriots succes in this years Superbowl. When I am not working or watching the games, I enjoy going out to explore the city with friends.

     When I was eighteen years of age, I had my daughter Giselle Edwards. As of this year she is now three, and on her way to four and is the most important person in my life. Having a child at a young age put me in the position to mature at a faster pace. Being a father is something that I am very proud of. I've learned a lot about myself, because I have to be a role model for her to look up to. My daughter is one of the main reasons I am finishing out my college career and taking the steps I need to conquer all of my goals.

     My main goal and focus is to become a radiologist at Massachusetts Genereal Hospital. Radiology is my area of study while I attend Bunker Hill. I really couldn't see myself having a career that doesnt involve helping people. I've been interested in radiology ever since I broke my hand and had to be x-rayed, although the bone was broken I was intrigued. In five years I see myself working in a hospital and providing a even better life for my daughter than what I had when I was growing up. That is The Life & Times of Dwayne Edwards.
