Name: Kayon A. Curvin

Place of Origin: May Pen, Clarendon, Jamaica

I first tasted fresh air after 9 hours of labour because of my mother, a mother like no other but Blanche Crawford I love her. She gave birth to me in the Mandeville Hospital located in the parish/province of Manchester on March 2, 1982. I spent the first eight years of my life in Manchester living with my grandparents, but later moved to Clarendon (the neighbouring parish) to live with my mom. Clarendon is situated in the central part of the country in the county of Middlesex. I started high school soon after to get a better understanding of the world and to increase my knowledge.

I am a past student of one of Jamaica’s most outstanding high schools “Glenmuir High”. I spent 5 years gathering knowledge and applying it onto paper of which I very successful. I was too young to attend college so I then took a one year computer course at the Knox Community College just to by me some time. After which I was drilled to join the National Youth Service by my sister who has supported me through everything (thick & thin). I graduated from the N.Y.S. as a teaching assistant, where I was placed at a Primary and Junior High for the next 9 months.
After finishing the 9 months I was selected for the JamNet Youth Program and here I am a JamNet past participant who has gotten a new knowledge and a cultural exchange. I must say thanks to my sister for her encouragement love and support. I am a child of God and I put him first every time. My philosophy is: the sky is not the limit aim for the heavens above.
Currently I live in a very small community called Swansea Meadows with my brother and sister. Yes! the same sister that has supported me.
