I will paint myself with a lot of colours and hopefully you get a picture of who I am. I believe to understand who a person is you need to understand where they are from. I don't know if I should give my name in the blogosphere because I'm new to this but I'm David from Auchi in Nigeria. That should be general enough
I'm Nigerian and I'm an Engineering student in Canada chasing the dream. I come from a single parent home and my mum works hard to send 4 kids to school in another country. She wants us to have a better life than she did. Its hard to figure out what she means. I always got the important things in life aka good education in the best schools, food, almost daily devotions for Godly instruction, a good neighbourhood to grow up in and so much more.
When I was in primary 3 I knew I wanted to make cool gadgets and school in America. Well schooling in America was a sort of compromise for my mum not letting us go to L.A. to stay with our dad. She said the environment was not safe for kids and when we were old enough we would go to school in America.
As you will find a my mum's influence is still strong, I'm 24 years old and in my daily decision making I still remember the things we learnt in our daily devotions. I hope to be able to give my kids the same or better upbringing than I got myself.
So I am going to be richer than Bill Gates, I'm going to be the richest man in the world. Why you ask do I need all that money? I feel that there is a lot in this world that cannot be changed unless you have a fat pocket. Like oppression of the poor and weak, helping the poor genuinely without having your money spent on administrative costs by NGO's. Fighting child trafficking and slavery, stopping illegal sex slavery. Things that no one will change unless you have some sort of financial power.
I have to split the different sides of my story because they are quite intricate and each forms its own story. My life is quite a story, successes, failures, rebounds from failure, adolescence.
I hope to tell my story bit by bit depending on how comfortable I feel in the blogosphere.
