THAT VIRTUOUS WOMAN.
She speaks the truth at all times, she is respectful to her elders , she is God fearing , and obeys the instructions of those older than her. She heeds to good advice and takes to correction when wrong, she is truly apologetic when she offends someone and has standards and values she wont jeopardize for the anything or any one.She follows a path which is righteous an neglects shameful ways. A woman whose attitude can take her to the greatest altitude, she is worth more than diamonds and rubies. She is a woman of virtue,a woman of integrity and great value. That is The kind woman I hope to be.

MY FEARS, COMING TO COLLEGE.
What is it like there? Are the people friendly? Would I have a good roommate? Would I be considered inferior because of my race? would the teachers understand me? ... Those where some of the questions that constantly pondered my heart as I prepared for college. Some days I had sleepless nights, sometimes I told my mum how I had changed my mind about schooling abroad but still there was this voice inside of me that told me it was going to be perfect. So I got to Wartburg college, met the friendliest and open minded people, found out I had an awesome roommate that I got along with, met the most understanding and graceful teachers and was accepted and regarded as important. So I wondered why I bothered my self worrying, when all my fears where blessings in disguise.

A TYPICAL BAD DAY.
Waking up at 7.30am on a cold Monday morning when I realized I had a 7.45am class, I dashed to the bathroom to have a quick shower, got back to my room started scribbling through my closet for something to wear, in the midst of all my hurry and panic, I hear a loud sound, I turned back to see what it was, It was my laptop which I had mistakenly pulled by the chord to the floor. Hoping there was no serious damage I turned on the laptop, behold, my screen was broken. Already upset and moody I dashed of to class, only to realize we had a reading quiz that I didn't know about. Soon after my classes for the day at around 1.45pm, I went off to the library to do homework, so I started off my 5 page essay that was due in two days. After completing my 5 paged essay at around 5.30pm I saved it and went to dinner. I came back soon after to edit my work and revise it, only to find out it was not there, the essay did not save. The tears I had held back for the whole day flowed down my cheeks so easily and continuously I could not hold it back even I tried so hard to. What a day!

THE JOURNEY TO WARTBURG COLEGE WAVERLY IOWA
It was on the 25th of August 2013 when I boarded the KLM flight going to Amsterdam from Lagos, Nigeria. I was very excited but scared and sad at the same time, what a mix of emotions. I was excited because I was going to college and it was the start of a new phase in my life and also because it was going to be a whole new experience for me, considering the fact that I was going somewhere that is so far from home. And I was also scared and sad because I was leaving my family and friends and also I was travelling the distance alone. It was my first time of travelling alone so, it seemed a little bit scary but I wanted experience it since I would be doing al lot things on my own.
After saying goodbye I proceeded to the various checkpoints and finally to the plane. The flight to Amsterdam was about six hours and when we finally landed at around, 5.15 am Amsterdam time, I proceeded to wait for my next flight to Chicago which was at 11 am so I sat waiting. Finally it was time to go through security check to board the flight so I successfully went through and waited to be asked to go into the plane little did I know what was in store for me, when it was announced that the plane had technical problems and couldn't fly. So this meant we had to wait extra 2 hours for them to get another plane ready. I was devastated, hungry and tired. Finally we boarded and took off the flight lasted about 7 hours 45 minutes. when we landed I proceeded to get my bags because I was to take a different airline to Iowa from Chicago. After getting my bags, I checked them in and boarded the flight which lasted about an hour or less, The flight also had other International student going to Wartburg. By the time we got to Iowa I was really tired but I was still; excited and couldn't wait to get to school. We met with Kofee, Lindo and Max who picked us up and drove us to school. when I saw the Wartburg sign post I couldn't but smile, I knew it was going to be a great experience.

VALUE OF AN EDUCATED LIFE.
Education I believe, is one of the greatest gifts and opportunity one can give to himself. An educated life to me, is a life that has meaning and a life useful to the person involved and the people surrounding that person. Education to me is one of the most important things in life as it helps you live respectably, an educated life is one that gives you the chance of having a great job from which you can make a living. Education makes you feel like you have something to offer to the society you live in and not just part of the population. Education also makes you aware of your rights and obligations and also keeps you well informed about the world you live in. With an educated life you cannot be pushed around by the world rather, you would be part of those who call the shots. In all, an Educated life is a life worth living.
Education is one of the primary goals which I am set to achieve because I believe education is the key to the door of opportunities, with which I can make a good living and also an impact in the world. I have a dream of becoming one of the best economist and diplomat in my time and this dream i have realized, can only become a reality through a sound and well-rounded education which i believe Wartburg college could offer me. And that marks the sole reason of why I have enrolled as a student at this prestigious institution.
