My New Life in America

My New Life in America

Two things facts about these two countries are Nigeria is on the West of Africa where I was born

and raised, and America also known as the United States of America, stands by itself. Both

countries plays a huge role in my life and they contribute to the person I am today. Nigeria has
always being my all time favorite topic to share with other people just as America would be if I

was to go back to my country. Nigeria has always been where my heart lies because it’s my

home, where my families are, and it has always been all I knew of before coming to the United

States of America. Never in a million years would I think I would have a new beginning in

America or anywhere else in that matter.


Oct 2002, at the age of 12, my adventure began to take formation as it marks the day I made

part with my other half into a world I have little to no knowledge about. Before leaving my

country behind, I take one more look wondering when or how I would return and if I would be

recognized as the same little innocent girl I was before I left. Thoughts ran through my head as I

was informed to fasten my seatbelt before going up into the air.
