Coming to the US in 2015 was one of the highlights of my life. Never in a thousand years did I ever imagine I would board a plane, to another city in my country Angola, leave alone fly across the Atlantic into the world’s most sought after nation, The United States of America. The memory is still so fresh in my mind, on that particular day when my parents broke the news to me, that I would be spending the next years of my life abroad. That kind of feeling was one I have never experienced, and it has remained with me from that day. Back home, to have an opportunity to study and start a life abroad is one many people my age would wish for and this was a chance I did not take for granted. It is even rare when that opportunity presents itself in the United States of America. I have always been a proud child of The Motherland (the way we refer to our beloved continent Africa).

We drove to the airport and boarded a US-bound flight. I looked through the plane's window and saw my life transform, with every height the airplane rose to.
I came to the US as an international student. I was never an A student, but all my life I have always believed in the principles of hard work. This I was taught at an early age, and it is what has kept me anchored since my childhood. My parents, on the other hand, have always imparted to us, as a family how important education is, and it is very important when that education is acquired from the best places that it can be offered. To study in this country was, therefore, an added advantage and I vowed to take advantage of this opportunity. Not only to make my parents proud but also to acquire as much skill as possible which I would use as a tool to change the world.
