Mury was a nickname given to me back in middle school. I went to a small school, about 40 students in my grade, and of those 40 students there were 4 other Dylan's. Because of this all of the Dylan's were given nicknames and so Mury is just short for Murayama.
Although many people think that I was born and raised on the island of Maui. I was actually born in the city of San Francisco and then moved to Maui at the age of 2. Therefore not born but raised in Maui.

I am a person that loves spending time indoors and outdoors. Growing up in Maui taught me to appreciate our natural surroundings and the importance of caring for our homes as well as places we visit. I enjoy things like hiking, camping, going to the beach, and having a good time with good company. Although being outdoors can be very addicting I do love indoor activities as well. I enjoy spending time watching basketball, playing video games in my spare time and oddly I find studying very gratifying. I have learned that it is really all about balance.
