Hello, my name is Tony Marra and I am 19 years old, I am the youngest in my family I have an older sister and an older brother, both my brother and I have Autism. I always try to work hard even if I don’t always seem like I show it. I graduated from Wahconah Reginal High School as part of the Class of 2021 and I was part of the National Business Honor Society and the National Society of High School Scholars. I am at Berkshire Community College for a degree in Liberal arts. I am also working part-time at Market 32. The reason I am coming for this degree is that I have a lot of different ideas on what I can do, like robotics or culinary arts, but I don’t know which of these paths I should seriously pursue. but I am hoping that my time at BCC will help me find what career path I should go down, even if it is a path that I haven’t considered before. Once I figure out where I am going, I will try to follow the path no matter where it leads me, whether staying here in Berkshire County or traveling somewhere else in the country or even the world. I am not opposed to transferring, as long as the career that I am going for is at that college. But I don’t want to travel too far away from home even if it is a few hours away from home I would at least want to stay fairly local. One of my main inspirations is my family, they all have worked hard to be where they are right now and they have pushed me to do the same, even if I struggle I know I can talk to them or lean on them for help. I have Autism, specifically what used to know as Asperger’s syndrome. I don’t feel like it defines me at all and is just a single part of me that makes me unique. I have always been doing one thing: Proving people wrong!
