My name is Joshua Diggins. I’m nineteen years of age and I am from Kansas City, Missouri. I graduated from Northeast High School in 2009. I was very proud of myself for graduating from high school but will be more ecstatic with myself when I graduate from college. I am trying to obtain a degree in Business Management or Business Marketing. I am really into business, but besides that I really like media and photography.


A few things about me that represent who I am are: Family. I love and value my family. I come from a tight knit family and we push each other to be our best every chance we get. I have a fraternal twin brother and I also have two older brothers. I have a younger sister whose nine years old and there’s nothing that I won’t do for her. I have a strong mother, who has been through a lot and still continues to surprise me with her strength and love. She’s currently a C.N.A. but is in school to become a respiratory therapist. I love fashion and if I could I would be a model and model my own fashion. In my spare time I like to read, and listen to music. I also like to play football but I love basketball. I played for the varsity team at my school and I follow the NBA closely. I also like to play video games if I have nothing else to do.



Reading and Writing were two of my strongest subjects in high school so I kept high grades in those two subjects. I have read a number of books including the Harry Potter series and most of my favorite author’s, Mildred D. Taylor, novel. My favorite books by her are Roll of Thunder, Hear my Cry, and Let the Circle Be Unbroken, and also Road to Memphis. I also like reading music and sports magazines. I like writing but not as much as reading. Depending on the subject I have trouble writing about certain things and meeting criteria for a proper paper or essay. I haven’t had much experience in writing besides the little that was required of me in school but I have a lot of time to learn.



Being able to read and write is important to me especially because without it you won’t be able to get very far in life. It is very essential to be able to read and write in Business so that you can communicate and or appeal to any audience or customer. Knowledge is Key to Success and I plan on being very successful.
