Hi my name is Philip Pierre and I am now a senior majoring in Geography minoring in History@ MSU. I started here in 2003 but had to leave for my military duty but that's the present. As for the past i was born in Trinidad, which is on the northeast tip of South America but its considered the Caribbean. I then lived in London for some years and moved to West New York at the age of 17. A fact that still amazes me to this day is that I have never lived in one place for more than 4 years. I moved every 2-3 years since i was growing up. Just naming a few would be Alaska, Austin TX, Groton CT, and I have travelled to many other countries.
I love the outdoors especially hiking so I try to take my boxer most of the times. I also play many sports such as football, soccer, basketball and ran track in high school and college (100m, 4x400 relay & 200m) I also get in rock climbing and kayaking depending on the area. In my down time i enjoy playing chess, board games and reading. My favorite type of food would be seafood especially shrimp and crabs but i love the majority of it.
Last but not least I got into teaching after tutoring after school middle -high school kids in New Orleans. 90% of these students came from drug infested homes, single parent and lots of violence in their direct environment so I felt privileged to help in this way. So now that you know a little about me I look forward to a productive semester and knowing my classmates, while at the same time having fun learning.

You've been a lot of amazing places, Philip! Where in New Orleans did you work? When I lived down south, we spent a lot of time in LA and especially in and around NOLA. I miss it -- I haven't been back since the hurricane and I am curious to see how it is today.
