I have done it!!

Four years ago I have decided to go back to school to upgrade my education. I went to Tyndale University to do a Bachelor of Arts program in Business Administration with focus on International Development. Today, I am pleased to announced and declared that I have done it, I have completed my degree. Last Saturday I was officially conferred the B.A. degree at the convocation. It was not an easy journey at all but it was gratifying and life changing experience. So many sacrifices were done, so many friends and opportunities were lost or forgone in order to focus on my study but nothing can replace the sense of accomplishment I have at the end of my academic journey. I pray that this accomplishment serves as an example and a reason to motivation for many of my generation to strive for betterment in life. Anything is possible if we believe in God and in ourselves. I took a risk to forgo a paying manufacture job in order to go back to school and upgrade my education; and today my investment has paid out. Now that I have finished, I am looking for job, I am seeking for employment in the International Development. I want to serve the world, I would like to give back something of value to the community.

Road Trip to New York City

Hello everyone!

It has been almost a year since I have last posted on this blog. I am sorry that I have disappeared for that long but I needed to focus on completing my degree. I have been attending two universities completing my degree required courses that were not offered this year at my university in order to be able to graduate this Spring 2009. Nevertheless, last month of April, we have received the visit of my sister-in-law and her two kids visiting from Berlin, Germany only for a week. They have asked me to take them to the United States since the kids wanted to visit New York City. I took them to Manhattan, driving from Toronto on a Wednesday morning then back to Canada the very next day. At New York City we stayed at the Hampton Inn Manhattan hotel located right at the Brooklyn Bridge. We didn't have enough time to see every thing we wanted. We have only spent 24 hours in Manhattan but we have managed to see quite a few interesting places like the Central Park, the United Nations, the Wall Street and Money exchange, and the Statue of Liberty from afar, ahahah!!!! Please enjoy the pictures!!!
