Everyone goes through hard times during their lifetime and find a way to push through the obstacles. I have had a few obstacles I have had to overcome throughout my time. At the age of 10, I lost my father at the time I did not know what death really meant and how it would affect me and my family. As time moved on, I understood more and it hit me. At the time of his death we still lived in Nigeria and following his death my family and I moved to the United States due to his family’s traditions as they wanted to take my sisters and I away from my mom and my mom wanted to keep us as safe as she was capable to. When I came to the United States, I had to learn to assimilate, make new friends and live a lifestyle I never had
