Let me first of all say that I’m Nigerian and how big a deal and normal it is for at least 7 out of 10 Nigerian parents to continuously nag their children about how many relatives are watching them and waiting for them to succeed. Most times the children including myself have no idea who most of these extra relatives are because previously we only knew a handful now members of the community and church attendees who we once said hello to because our parents accidentally bumped into them after…

There are two different types of college kids, one with grit and one without. Grit plays a major role in college. Grit can be defined as a determined or goal driven person. So what makes a college student with grit different from a college student without grit? Even though a student without grit still has a plan to finish, they do not always do whatever it takes as a student with grit would. There are several differences between the two. Some of the differences are determination, not…

Dear, Young Man that stole from us, You may not remember me but I’m sure you remember the house I live in. It was a two story colonial, blue with cream trim and shutters; you should remember because it was the last house you stole from before ending up in jail. You stole electronics, that my husband and I worked hard for, a set of silver that was given to us as a wedding gift and some art. Although some of these items had sentimental value, I am not angry that you took these items from us, they…

people don’t want to die, who does? There is a lot of people that are really scared of dying and being forgotten. There is a quote that Bruce Lee said; "Want to be immortal? Live a life worth remembering." In my opinion that’s the way I think about death. Death is the end, but it 's also the beginning of something else.

My hypothesis to this theory is that bad things don’t always come and go and good will not always last forever.

I was born in Atlanta, and…
