On the morning of July 28, 2012, I found myself standing in the middle of Crown Point International Airport holding a plane ticket to Ft. Lauderdale International Airport. My knees were weak and my eyes were so blurred that I couldn’t read the basic information that was on the plane ticket. The only thing I could have recognized was the color of it, which appeared to be a faded green in my eyes. For a short moment my mind was completely blank, then suddenly the thoughts and memories of the time being spent in Canaan, Tobago came rushing into me like ferocious waves of a traumatized ocean.

Therefore, I try my best not to take my education for granted. My academic interest currently is business management. As a business student at Concordia College Alabama, I am required to take multiple courses in order to earn my business degree. Some of these courses are Mathematics, English, science, Business, History and New Testament. After a year of taking a few of these courses, I Learned a lot about my strengths and weaknesses.The subjects I am weaker in currently are United States history and Mathematics.

Sometimes I do get weary, but the one thing that keeps me motivated is an old saying my dad once told me. It states “if you believe you can’t you won’t, if you believe you can you will”.

My short term goal is to get my AA’S in business management at Concordia College Alabama at the age of 19 and get my aviation and powerplant license by the age of 23 at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida. My lifetime goal is to travel to most parts of the world including the african continent and europe and start a scholarship fund for international students who are trying to further their education. I want to do so because paying for college is not easy for international students and I want to be able to help as much people as I possibly
