Every day, multitudes of things are competing for our attention. Billboards line every street, commercials interrupt every enticing program, and our phones are constantly beckoning us to check them. And no, this is not the beginning of another trite piece of literature that is going to complain about how the growth of advertising and technological innovation is the decline of the human race. In fact, I embrace it. The world is changing, and with so much to be involved in, competition for our attention is healthy and necessary to keep things that we want to see accessible.
Four years ago, I left the shores of Nigeria to pursue a higher education at the University of Ottawa. I know most people when they are younger are not sure of what career path to follow, ye I always knew I wanted to be a lawyer. Ever since I could remember, I have always felt deep compassion towards other human beings. It is disappointing to watch people lose their basic human rights. My program has educated me and changed my worldly views.
The dream of going to college has been present since I remember. However, I lived in a low income household in Spain, and at that time my family was going through a great depression, lack of financial stability, and my parent’s relationship was not at its best; consequently, the idea of having another expense was not a priority for the family, needless to say that college was not an option. Nevertheless, life has given me the opportunity to review my priorities, make new choices and as a result, I decided to pursue a higher education. I became a displaced homemaker after my divorce in 2008 in Washington State, when I decided to move away and start a new life in Colorado. We were only us, my daughter and me.
Many goals of mine manifest in education. Providing myself opportunities to
When I enrolled into University of Connecticut in 2009, I was living my life conforming to other people's goals and not my own. Life purpose and life intentions are rich and valuable. It can also be helpful in aiding us to move through the challenges life brings us. Self-discovery is an evolving process. Sometimes you have to take a detour in life.
When I first came to the United State, I did not speak any English, but I had the desire to continue my education and to learn English. Growing up as a child, I only had one dream to become a chemical engineer. However, there have been many different challenges have been part of my journey. I remember starting school when I first came to the United States, at a local community center. Young and dedicated, I decided for the first six months that I would not speak any of my native languages and only focus on English.
When deciding what matters to me I asked my family and friends. The majority of the responses were success, money, and family. I thought about this for a while and decided that what matters to me most on earth is kindness. I want everyone in the world to be kind, compassionate, loving human beings who treat each other with respect. I feel like this is because of my favorite verse, 1 Peter 4:8 ‘Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.’
When I began my undergraduate education at Dickinson College I was unsure what I wanted to do with my life. But I knew from high school that I loved physics, so I took a class, and by the end of my first year I was able to confirm where I belonged. My time as a physics major at Dickinson has presented me with an abundance of opportunities to grow as both a person and as a student. The first time I experienced a class from the perspective of a teaching assistant, I knew I could not let my time in academia come to an end upon graduating. To see fellow students undertaking the same academic pursuits as I once had, and to be able to guide them in these pursuits, is nothing short of magic.
As a young child I was always fascinated with education since I was raised by parents who were not able to finish their education. At that young age the only goal I had was finishing high school and go to college. I didn’t think much of my goals until I realized that there was more than just going to going to college and getting my diploma. When I first viewed Wichita State’s campus I realized that I wanted to be part their campus by participating in clubs and joining a sorority. I wanted to make a difference in the campus by meeting new people.
I come from the lower social class and whose family is from a low-income household. My parent’s highest education is high school; therefore, they do not have a career. My father works at a grocery store and my mother cleans houses. When I was a child, my father was the primary breadwinner; therefore, my family did not have a lot of money to spend. Moreover, growing up in a low-income household affected me as a child because I did not have the opportunity to participate in extra-curricular activities from private institutions that taught ballet, karate, and art because my parents could not afford them.
I have an innate curiosity for how things work. Whether it’s researching the mechanisms of metastasis in cancer cells or learning about how mutations in a single gene can cause disorders that affect the entire body, I have always been fascinated by what causes things to happen the way they do at the molecular level. This curiosity, coupled with my admiration for intimate doctor-patient relationships, fueled my aspiration to become a physician. Through shadowing a hand surgeon and a gynecologist and volunteering at nursing homes, I have engaged with many patients and listened to their unique stories. These experiences have further deepened my interest in medicine and my desire to become a physician.
In today’s world, children are taught from a young age that to be successful, they need to go to college so that they can live a good fulfilling life. But is college really all that worth it and does it fit into everyone’s path the way we are told it should? I knew that NYU is a private university located throughout New York City, with alumni featuring authors I love and writers I admire. It’s probably the most prestigious school in the state, which is why I’ve wanted to attend so badly. I also knew that RISD, Rhode Island School of Design, is the art school of my dreams and that since I've decided I'd like to go to an art school instead of a typical college or university, it has been my goal to get there.
My parents never went to college and three of my older siblings never went to college. One of my older brothers did go to a university for one day, but chose not to return. In my community, the first, and perhaps only, priority for a woman is to get married and build a home. There are very few resources for someone like me, looking for something more.
When I was growing up, there was a huge emphasis put on what college a person was attending. My parents always wanted what was best for me which equated to a college with name recognition and a prestigious history. I always believed them until I went on my first college visit. All the lectures and tours were focused on the aspects my parents fixated on but when I talked to students, it was a whole different story. They did admit that a school’s quality of education was important to them along with how future employers would evaluate their undergrad degree.
I would like to start with a confession, I am the prime example of a jack of all trades. I am interested in, and participate in anything that can help change the world for the best. I am however currently in love with climate responsive architecture design and the importance of education to young people. Why am I interested in empowering the education of young people?
