Dalu Gondwe grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah. He attended ensign elementary school and Bryant Middle before having to make the tough choice between AMES high school and East high school. East high was his boundary school, the school all his friends from middle school would attend but Ames was a charter school that focused on the math and sciences. Dalu made the tougher but smarter choice by choosing what was best for his future. Dalu is set to graduate from Ames in June of 2015. Dalu will be attending Weber State University in the fall of 2015 to pursue a degree in Political Science with aspirations of later attending Georgetown during graduate school.
