My name is Ekow Mensah Essel. My first name is pronounced 'echo' and the first thing that people always ask when I tell them how to say my name is 'you mean like echo, echo, echo, echo?' I always get a kick out of that and just smile so as to make them feel as though it was the very first time I've ever heard that question but to tell you the truth, it's the oldest one in the book but you can go ahead and still ask me that. I don't mind.
To let you know a little about who I am and where I am from, I reside in San Antonio, TX, but I am originally from Ghana, West Africa. When I tell people this, they always seem to have some sort of ridiculous question about the loin cloth that I wore or about Snuggles, my pet lion (In case you couldn't tell, I don't really have a loin cloth or a pet lion, but people always ask me about them). I have two older brothers who are of ages 21 and 23. The 21 year old attends the University of Texas at Austin and is very proud to be a Longhorn. The 23 year old attends the University of Texas at San Antonio but I am not very sure how his pride in being a Roadrunner stands.
About my personality, I am a very laid back person who tends to be quiet when one is first introduced to me, but as time goes on, I get louder and louder, but nobody has to worry because I make sure not to get overly loud.
Here also is a video telling you who I am and where I am from. Enjoy!

Ekow, this was a very good entry. When I first heard your name, I didn't think of "echo echo echo"; I actually thought of the character Eko from Lost.
Interesting blog, I couldn't think of anything to write about on mine, so your's looks much better in comaprison. :-)
