Established in 1630, Boston was one of the earlier settlements in Colonial North America. It was founded by the Massachusetts Bay Colony whose Puritan traditions influenced the local government.

By virtue of Bohemianism being the first countercultural movement, I can only claim that the movement affects me in a largely indirect manner, as its existence predicates almost every counterculture and reform movement since. Nevertheless, the Bohemians have, at the very least, affected my list of college applications, for the Village they established now hosts various universities on my list.

So, because of this we are forced to live in squatter settlements called Hoovervilles (shacks that housed millions of unemployed).

We had moved to Maryland shortly after the birth of our second daughter. While my husband was busy working day and night to provide for us, I often felt isolated. Stuck at home with two children under 3 years old, I had little opportunity to get out of our house.

Growing up I faced many challenges in life, and nothing was really that easy at all. I guess you can say I was one of those kids who didn’t have the choice to act mature. My life was full of constant challenges, from not having anything to working for what I have now.

Even though I might not necessarily agree with him, I still followed his advice for years. However, I always ended up feeling lonely and depressed.

I am the oldest of three siblings, the oldest of my cousins from my maternal side, and the first from both maternal and paternal side to receive an education outside the country Nigeria, better yet the United States. It is a privilege that a few attain and for many Nigerians a dream come true. As grateful as I am, there are a lot of expectations accompanied. Although, doing what is best for me is the common mindset in today’s society, I cannot help but consider such mentality, the waste of an opportunity. For an American citizen, the future is bright and filled with potential.
