Journal: Journey to America

• My first day in America
• Sponsored Scholarship
• Lost in a foreign country
• Americans are generous
• Saved by the security guards

It was at the beginning of the year a day that I had to make a critical decision ever in life. I had just received a scholarship in America which left me no choice but leave all behind including my family and chase my dreams. It was my desire since I was seven to study in America and since then it was fulfilled while I was 21. All I had in mind was that U.S.A is all about adventure thereby; when my day came to fly there I was filled with overexcitement.  There was a long departure queues and the sound of other planes taking off made me too eager for my turn.

With a blink of an eye I was in the dream land, which I thought was all about adventure. At the airport the scholarship team had sent someone to peak me according to the information were received back at home. However, due to hyperactivity I thought the place was fast thus; I had time to take a walk as a search for the adventure before the person to peak me arrived. At the airport there was all kind of races where others spoke in very strange language though they were not much of my concern. It was about five hours and I had already walked miles where I could not trace my way back to the airport therefore; I decided to ask for help though I thought my communication was poor but to my surprise I was taken back to the point I landed. At the airport I spent hours and no one seemed bothered with me but I did not give up until it was dusk and yet nobody came for me. I spent my night at the airport. Early in the morning five security men came towards me and I was scare though to my surprise they recognized me and took me with them.
