About Me
Hallo, My name is Daniel Kaminju. Welcome to my space.
Let me tell you about myself. I am 13 years old, and was born and raised in New Jersey. I am an only child in a tight knit family. I spend holidays with my larger extended family both here in the US and Kenya. I have many interests. I love music and theatre and have taken piano classes and public speaking. Am passionate about computers especially computer graphics and video games.

Volunteer work: St Matthews Elementary school - Isiolo, Kenya:
​
During my vacation in Kenya, my family and I visited this local school in Isiolo town. We encouraged the students and gave them some bibles. It made me realize how much am blessed. With my family's help, I plan to ship some of my used books to the school to help set up a library.

My Musical Recital:
​
When I was born, my parents decided to move from their little apartment in Jersey City to a townhouse in the suburbs of New Jersey. The previous owner had an old piano which was too heavy to move out, so he donated the piano to them. At first, they did not find a need for it. As I grew up and punched the piano keys, I begun liking the music. At the age of five, they enrolled me for music classes at the Westminster Music Conservatory. It was here that I explored other instruments and fell deep in love with the piano.

Inspirational Speech:
​
During a virtual public speaking graduation at Enspire Academy (https://www.enspireacademy.com/) in October 2020, I presented an inspirational speech on Galileo Galilei. I was motivated to give this speech because of Galileo’s contributions to science especially in the areas of astronomy, physics and engineering. His persistence is something I greatly admire. Although he faced a lot of opposition from the church and some astronomers, he continued to press on in what he believed in.
The story of Galileo shows that persistence bears fruit. I plan to continue developing my public speaking skills in high school.

Martial Arts:
​
I participated in martials Arts as a good way to exercise and keep fit. The workouts were hard and rigorous and with time I realized Martial Arts helps one to focus, be disciplined, build confidence and endurance.
