COMING TO COLLEGE
Coming to college far away from my family and love ones was the hardest decision I have ever made. I remember that tepid Friday evening, as I was boarding the plane to come to school, all I was thinking of was what I will gain from leaving my home, friends, and relations to come to college in a place I know little or nothing about. The answers that crossed my mind was that I will grow as a person i.e. I will be able to decide what is wrong from right, be able to live independently, be responsible because college seeks to unearth maturity in students. I will have the opportunity to meet new people and make new friends from different parts of the world and that will expose me to new cultures, beliefs, values, faith, and ideas. On getting here, as the days go by, I realize that everything I hoped to gain from college was turning out to be. From orange exceleration to the first day of class have been so intriguing. The new culture, people, food, and style is also intriguing. I can tell from my little experience from the liberal education being offered here at Wartburg College that, my future here in school and after school is very bright. I will graduate from here as a critical analyst who will contribute my quota in the development of my country and also help in placing it into the global map.
