long over due

yah, its been long over due and i am finally posting my first blog, Yay!. Having a journal was something i have always loved to do or have but then college came along(i hate when that happens..lol!).Speaking of college,it has been a bitter-sweet experience for me.

Sweet: The college experience is an opportunity that not a lot of people have had or will have especially from where i come from. i am so grateful for the opportunity to acquire knowledge which i can use to make a difference in the world.

Now to the bitter part, transitioning to college meant leaving my family, friends and the neighborhood i have known my whole life to fly thousands of miles across the Atlantic to the US, talk about "transitioning". Leaving Africa to the US has been a huge change for me and each day i still suffer from the culture shock but at the same time i have had some amazing experiences and met some amazing friends but no matter what, there is no place like home. overall, the experience has not been too bad, as am still trying to make the best use of the opportunity i have.
