"NO I dont think you should consider that major, you should consider being a lawyer, doctor or an engineer", this a perfect way to describe how close minded a Nigerian parent is. A lot of times there is always a lack of open mindedness in my home, the lack of the belief that being able to explore other careers is lost.

as much as I can. The fact that I live with both parents who’ve been practicing these cultures since they were babies, you can’t help but be exposed to the culture when they practice it. It's intriguing; their greetings, curses, literature, songs, proverbs, cures, wisdom, and prayers. I understand bits and pieces of their culture, but I don’t know the language so well.

love for one another.” 1 John 3:17-18 “But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but indeed and in truth”. Proverbs 21:13 “Whoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself call out and not be answered”.

With each of casts’ misfortunes came their American dreams, even if they were not aware that they would need each other to achieve it. This dream would be lead by Seabiscuit.
