About Kerry
Kerry is a driven and curious student from Kiribati, excited to broaden his horizons through the UUTI program! His teachers rave about him, calling him outspoken, disciplined, and always prepared to take on new challenges.
When it comes to friends, Kerry surrounds himself with a tight-knit crew who value studying hard, playing games, and always having each other’s backs. He’s eager to connect with people from all over the world, not just the U.S. “I want to gain things that I have not seen before in my country,” he shares, ready for adventure.
Kerry’s passion for basketball started when his brother needed an extra player for his team, and he’s been hooked ever since! Off the court, Kerry’s talents shine in the classroom, where he’s won school competitions in science and math. At home, he enjoys putting his green thumb to work by helping his mom in her garden!
As part of his exchange year, Kerry is determined to improve his English and dive into ICT (Information and Communication Technology), a subject he sees as key to the future. He’s also eager to try new sports like baseball, handball, skateboarding, and soccer. And when it comes to American culture? Kerry can’t wait to learn more about NASA, the U.S. Armed Forces, and, of course, the NBA!
With his big heart, adventurous spirit, and eagerness to share his culture while embracing a new one, Kerry is ready to make his exchange year unforgettable. His host family and community are sure to love him just as much as he’s excited to meet them!
