Alexis
I'm finally here. It's hard for me to believe it. I'm finally in Canada, away from Nigeria, away from my father and away from my past. It feels so good.
For those of you who know me, I'm Buchi but from now on I'll be known as Alexis.

So let's fast forward to when the results of our finals exam came out. I passed my exams so well. I got admitted into the university of Saskatchewan to study biomedical Neuroscience. I almost died out of joy.

My dream is gradually falling into place. My plan is to finish from USask, that's the short for University of Saskatchewan, get married, hopefully have my own family, go further until I can officially start my career in pediatrics. For me, reaching the peak of my career means retiring as a medical director. Basically, I want to keep my life simple. I think I've had enough drama for one lifetime. Coming to Canada is just the beginning.

One of my sisters died. Right now it's just me, Keith and Mira. We've sworn to be there for one another no matter what.

Mira lives in America but she told me to go Canada and be with Keith. She and I have a rather interesting relationship. I'm closer to Keith though. I've always been. They have decided to sponsor me since my father wants to have absolutely nothing to do with me and honestly, the feeling is mutual. I don't care.
We've arranged that I'll get a job and work on weekends.

For what ever reason I listened to No more by my friend, K_amsy, throughout the flight and I believe every lyric there because right now, I'm saying no more to the pain I took back then. I'm never going back because I'm here to have a fresh start.
I've left Nigeria for good. I'm in freaking Canada and I'm here to stay.

Hello my. Lovelies. That's the prologue there. Pretty short but I didn't have strength. Anyway, don't forget to vote and comment.
Bye,
Diane.
