Looking at people's generosity and how they open up their hearts, and you know,
looking at the family that was able to take me in and give me an opportunity to grow as an
individual and also attend college. You know, they did not have to do that; they
did not have to open up their house their hearts and their, like, love and
offer it to me. The Olympics is going to give me the platform that I
need to reach out to other Africans that get to move to countries like America
and to show them that you can enter sports that are outside your world. I'm
currently working on getting the qualifications and the criterias needed
to secure a spot and be a contender in the Olympics.
I'm Brolin Mawejje, I live in
Salt Lake City, Utah. I was born in Uganda, I moved to the states when I was 12.
I moved to Boston, Massachusetts and joined an after-school program that takes
kids around the inner city and takes them out in the mountains and introduces
them to the winter sports. And in our program I found some friends and
actually the family I live with and my foster brother right now, his family asked
me to live with them and for last nine years now I've lived with the
Hesslers and I've been a Hessler for ... I guess for the rest of my life I'll be a Hessler.
I think Utah is the coolest place ever
I mean if you look at all other snowboarding or skiing areas you do not
get a 20-minute drive to the airport, 20-minute drive to class, 20-minute drive
to the mountains. So I moved to Utah in 2011 to attend Westminster College and as well
as snowboard. I wanted to place that had mountains that I can continue being a part
of the community — the mountain community — and also a college that would
accommodate what I needed. Having grown up in the East Coast a
little bit and in the West, hearing about Park City and where all the athletes go;
it's where all the best snowboarders at the time go. I really had this image of
Park City as the mecca of snowboarding. It has become that because you see the
likes of Sage [Kotsenburg] you see you know Chris Grenier, Sam Taxwood and all
the people that were molding the sport as it went along.
Park City you always have that going for it. Versus Brighton [Ski Resort] what do get it almost feel where you can hang out your friends
it's more laid-back but you still have a lot of fun futures you can hit and a lot
of progression they can go down I mean when I wake up when I think about is
what trick can I do today to improve my overall tricks that I have in my bag for
snowboarding I guess it's trying to gain consistency and trying to gain and
arsanov tricks to become a contender of this World Cups and to eventually you go
through to the Olympics
you can never stop learning my goal is to become a doctor I've always had that
dream since I was a young child in Africa also giving back to Africa so I
have another goal of trying to build a hospital in Uganda being able to go back
to help the Ugandan medical system improve
February 4th I I was in Kazakhstan for World University Games I had a little
bit of nausea and I went into the hospital hospital they told me that I
was having heart failure how it was at 20% flow the conclusion was my heart is
a little bigger than my body said beat slow and some phone down in Kazakhstan
that I have an irregular heartbeat it made me realize I should become an
Olympic snowboarder I really want to die in Olympia snowboarding my dream of a
front flat a twelve working on the building pieces to
build that run out and being able to you know and it's time to go just pull the
trigger pull out the trick I still need a little more time to build my dream run
and I believe that if I give myself some more time I'll be able to perform better
and be a contender for the 2022 games rather than be able to just show up and
go through the motions of the 2014 games as an African that just made it to the
gaps because a lot of us know the journey has become more important than
the destination whether I make it or not I want to be more than the Olympics or
more than the historical tag that it will created I want to be seen as a new
feature that you know get back to the world that getting along I'm ready to
turn that page and give back to others
