An emotional afternoon as I watch my parent tell me goodbye with tears. They gave me a look that made me think I was going for a suicide mission. I felt an avalanche of emotional outburst wandering round my belly. The journey I thought was gonna start in laughter and celebration, had an emotional kick off. Amidst the thrills and tears in the atmosphere; the boarding time came knocking and I had to leave everyone to go embrace the future written in a wall I can't see. Sometimes, we just have to respond to the calling of the unknown factor. Stepping out of the unknown and embracing the ways of the wild. To me, my time to leave my comfort zone has come and I embraced it emotionally. After a long flight, we arrived Doha airport. And I was fascinated by the people I saw. Different skin color and hair. And everyone pacing around like there was a bomb blast. I was just looking like i had no clue; basically, I had no clue. I was just trying my hardest to decode the enigma in sight like the handwritings on a Babylonian wall. Soon, one of the security helped me figure out what was in view and I started pacing like everyone else. It was a necessary factor to pace around. I don't know why, but you just have to run. The common saying; when you are in Rome, act like the Romans was the perfect description. Soon, it was time to board for Kiev. And I had to say bye bye to the dormitory of pace. We got to Kiev airport and a guy from the university picked me up. I just got the feeling that my real quest had began. My study experience in the number one ranked university in Ukraine: national technical university "Kharkov polytechnic institute" it was a thought full drive from Kiev to Kharkov.

Everyone seems to be in hurry and all I did was to be amazed at degree of pace their legs must have accrued. Soon I found out that there are more ladies than men. This made me think that the ladies will all be in the "please come take me to your mama" vibe.

This discovery opened up a new wave of revelations to my mind and took me down into the basic necessity of livelihood. You don't search for love, you don't live for love, if you are not happy with yourself, you can't be happy even in love. The basic rule for happiness is to be happy with yourself. I learnt that from the Ukrainian ladies, they are always cheerful, beautiful and happy with themselves. This to me is an adorable virtue. There is a common saying; "Ukrainian women love to cook and wash" this lines made me think of them as entities that would settle for house chores and stuffs that pertains to ancestry being a good wife syndrome. But I was amazed at the level and degree in which this young damsels embrace academic excellence and personal development. They are not being cut up by the gender role phenomenon, all want to be something worthwhile and build an empire of greatness for themselves. Amidst all the encroaching wonders in my Wonderland, I had to brace up my loins with diligence and hard work in other to catch up with the pace of the Ukrainians. Ukraine so far has being an inspiration, it gave me tools that would help me build my success to my taste. The cheap internet, wonderful subways, cheap food and accommodation only point to one thing " Ukraine is the best country to build up your muse and make self discovery that will enable you handle the world's demand for excellence " Thinking greatness, equals thinking Ukraine…
