I should quit my job,
I should loose some weight,
I should be more social,
I could have a boyfriend,
I could be more patient.
The list could have gone for miles, if I try hard enough.
But as soon as I decided writing about this topic, I suddenly realized that eveything in life is relative. If I realize myself instead, then every other thing will be of no importance.
The only thing I should do is self-realization.

As young girl, I was always communicating with people. I was also very upbeat. One thing I had always wanted to do was journalism, and communication. Then as a high school student, I did well with literature, and reading especially vocabulary. In my country I started as a journalism student so I can become a News caster. But something strange happened in 1997 when I moved from my country to United States during my second year in college. On getting here, I was shocked that people find it difficult to understand my accent and my choice of words too. I began to feel the heat because as an Honor student people began to question why I should be an honor student with a horrible accent. It started as a joke until I began to feel it. In other to answer questions I will write it down to avoid talking and it took a huge toil on me.
The worst even happened when I went to a federal University in my third year, I was in for Journalism and I found out that the system of communication was totally different from what I use to know .I was shocked about the use of graphics which was a problem because I had limited use of computer.
I began to develop migraine until one day I took sociology and loved it .I ended up with both socially and a comparative literature degree. It was painful to seem myself go down like that. But my accent has improved greatly now, but I have lost the hope of becoming a News caster. I know I should have done it but there were so many odds against the profession.
Enjoyed the turn towards the self =). Love you first, then it all will fall into place whether you spend time ruminating on it all or not.
