From time to time people ask me where I am from. My accent is a dead giveaway that I am a foreigner. I am not sure which country others associate with my accent. I hope it is Guyana (there are other Guyanese who speak like me especially students from Watooka Day).
I do have a foreign degree on my resume (and LinkedIn profile) - my degree from the University of Guyana. That is a dead giveaway that I am from Guyana. My parents are also from Guyana.
I did learn a whole lot about Guyana from my schooling there (and from living there). Many many years ago, I came close to representing Guyana in sports (field events shotput and discus). If I remember correctly, I got to the national level.
I am from Guyana, South America not Ghana or Grenada or New York or Texas, USA.
