EXCITING EXPERIENCES I HAVE HAD IN AMERICAN UNIVERSITY OF NIGERIA

My stay in American University of Nigeria (AUN), so far has been an exciting and fun filled one right from when I was admitted till date. At AUN, I have lectures in comfortable and conducive classes, have met people from different Countries of the World, made a lot of friends, engage in extracurricular and social activities such as the school’s Chess club, basketball, and most especially, become a tutor in Math. I can remember how excited I was when I received a phone call from the admission officer on the 17th of January 2011 at about 1500hrs telling me I was admitted. I danced with so much joy and happiness. My Mum and I left for Yola from Abuja four days later so as not to miss registration. We touched down in Yola by 7:00pm and therefore couldn’t make it to the school that same day because it was past school hours. We then decided to stay in Alheri Hotels, which is about five miles from AUN. That night, I was happy but at the same time, nervous. I did not understand why I was nervous because attending AUN is something I have always dreamt of but I think it’s only natural to be nervous. The next day, we called a cab and off we went to AUN. My Mum left for Abuja that same day after helping me with registration because she had business to attend to. Lectures in AUN are something I always look forward to because of its process of learning. There are air conditioners in all the classes which make the air refreshing, good desks and chairs which make for easier and faster writing, projectors which make for easier learning and most especially, well trained and qualified Lecturers who make understanding better. All these make me look forward to having lectures every single

    In most Greek mythology there is a general hostility towards the female sex, which relays that most poets and writers themselves were sexist. Throughout Hesiod’s Theogony and Works and Days, women are portrayed in a very subservient manner, placing them far below men and are almost despised. However, in more than one instance, manipulation, women’s true power, is shown. They are constantly described as beautiful temptresses, which could be thought of as the weakness of many men. When Theogony and Works and Days are looked at as a whole it is obvious that Hesiod’s opinion of women, most likely shared by the Greeks themselves, is that they are inferior and subordinate to men.…

    My first few weeks of classes at UW-Platteville have surprisingly been fun and brought many opportunities of clubs I did not think I would join. When I imagined going to college for the first time, I thought I would cry and be homesick. To not be homesick I told myself to be involved with the Welcome Weekend activities and it worked! My classes were intimidating on the first day, but now that we have had many classes I am comfortable. I am using my time management skills everyday because I have many meetings to attend. Overall, I am glad I choose to continue my education at UW-Platteville because it feels like home.…

    This essay will endeavour to explore the flaws of Okonkwo that stem from his own sense of security and show us that he is not an embodiment of his society’s values and norms. Okonkwo in part one of the novel is seen as strong and a courageous man. He is part of the Ibo tribe in Umofia, which is a powerful village because of its fighters and warriors, such as Okonkwo.

    The opportunity to study abroad in Ghana was very unexpected. Studying abroad, especially in a place as meaningful as Africa, was something that I have always dreamed about but knew would never happen. Living in poverty meant study abroad opportunities were beyond my reach; I find financing my local college education challenging in itself. However, since I have been in college, I have realized I can do anything I set my mind to, and this is why I am applying to study abroad in Ghana through The College at Brockport.…
