Name: Luke
Three words to describe yourself: blessed, purposeful, easygoing
Luke was born in Tucker, Georgia, and at the age of two, he moved to Belgium at the age of two and then to Niger. Later on, he moved back and forth between Africa and America and he said that moving "expanded [his] mind to the world. Both of his parents are missionaries and linguists who made a curriculum to teach the written language spoken in Niger, and from the curriculum, the next step was to translate the Bible. Luke used to be able to speak French pretty fluently and he said that one thing that was shocking about living in Africa was the amount of poverty. "One time, one of my friends found a dead baby in a trash pile," he says. At UGA, Luke is studying Communications because he says, "It's a broad major . . . I don't know what I want to do with it specifically." He does, however, want to help people, maybe for a non-profit organization or a church "seeing how much need there is in the world." Luke is also a drummer, so if that takes off as a career, he will pursue drumming. Someday, Luke would like to write a book, travel to New Zealand, and meet the leader of any country, and "kicking a rabid dog" is on his bucket list. He recently broke his arm longboarding and says, "I think it would be cool to travel across a country on a longboard."
