A little story about me: My name is Abdirahman Said, also known as
Acce. I was born in Mogadishu, Somalia and was raised in Seattle, Washington
for most of my life. I moved to Oklahoma in January of 2013 for school. I am a
petroleum engineer major my passion is to one day become a pioneer in my field
of study, hence the move from Seattle. I am a student and also a family man. I
enjoy spending time with my loved ones (family first, and friends).
Unfortunately most of my family reside in Seattle as I am now here with my
wife. Both of us have made huge transitions in our lives, her coming from London
and myself Seattle. I enjoy going to the movies especially watching
mythological tales and movies based in medieval era. My all-time favorite
movie is 300 followed closely by gladiator.
I very much enjoy travelling around the world and exploring
different cultures and just enjoying the scenery. In the past few years I have
visited numerous countries within Europe England, Wales, and Holland, France.
My family and I lived in the Middle East for a brief period of time then we
decided to move to Germany where I went to school for about six years before
coming over here to the states. Germany was a very agricultural place in
comparison to Seattle. The living and lifestyle seemed much relaxed at the time
than any other place I've been in the world. Not to forget, I was once a fluent
German speaker but unfortunately I have lost my Dutch speaking skills from
constantly speaking English.
During the summer I spent it interning
with a drilling company. Opening up my eyes to where I want to specialize
in. The oil industry is rather interesting and vast being on the outside you’d
be surprised about the amount of work that goes into the extraction of oil.
Which probably explains why Oklahoma has been experiencing the high numbers of
earthquakes we've been having. Maybe it’s the earth’s way of telling us
engineers and driller to leave it alone.
