My name is André Bandiaky. I was born in Senegal/West Africa and my favorite proverb is that of the author Winston Churchill: "Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.

Through this quote, I was able to find the energy to take on any challenge. I thank God for having given me the chance to study dentistry and obtain a doctorate in my native country. When I immigrated to the United States, where I now live, this perseverance added to divine grace led me to another noble career, which is the transmission of knowledge to future generations through the teaching of mathematics. My main wish is to help those in need, in collaboration with people of good will.
