@LagosismyHome......Thanks Ma... I want to go for Entrepreneurship because my undergraduate project and my thesis at the masters level was related to that which might help boost my chances of being selected .

For the Msc in Business Administration . I'm going for that cos I've Bsc in Business Administration and will love to do something related to avoid much stress and adjusting to a new course.

PS: I will be going with my one yr old baby (Hubby was an officer and he died this year in Borno (Boko Haram killd him) . So I'm looking at relocating and changing my environment in order to start a new life.

Thanks Ma.

@Cariza, the lord is your strength. I understand what you must have been through. I lost my younger brother, a brilliant smart chap just out off the academy to those bastards over two years ago so i know how you feel. Stay strong and move on. Naija Sha....

Today marks exactly a month i left the shores of Nigeria... Left a lot behind for a better life for myself and family and i must say so far so good, God has been faithful. I got to the US with virtually nothing, home and abroad. But today, I'm almost done with paying my fees and am doing fairly well under a very tight budget. To all intending scholars, believe in God and work hard to make your dream a reality. Its not easy out here, but its worth it. With proper planning and God by your side, u all will scale through IJN.

I gave my first week transcript here, and this is my one month transcript. After my first week in the USA, i registered for classes (11 credit) and the bill sent to me the following day. Was expecting a bill of $5.5k having a scholarship of $3.5, but to my surprise got over $11k bill. After deducting my part scholarship, i was left a bill close to $8k. But through well wishers, assistantship job i got(19hrs 45mins at the rate of 12$ per hour) and a side job(coaching Arab students (2) in my class that are finding it difficult to follow up with the courses we are taking this semester at the rate of $20 per hour for 12hrs a week), i was able to reduce my bill to $2k. I've till Oct 12th to complete it before late fee charges will apply, but i believe even if i didn't pay it up by that time, i will do so before final week of classes.

Now how do i survive? Na still God. But to be honest i've been very frugal and disciplined. my rent is $200( I virtually search and search before i got this. the normal rate around is $300) and i scope the landlord to allow me stay without depositing for security fee, and he accepted. The room has most things, left behind by the last occupant including bed, table, chair, cabinet and some other stuff. so i didn't buy anything i just move in. i actually made the landlord called the last occupant to tell him that someone is taking the room and will be using his stuffs and the person agreed. Also, for the first month, utilities wasn't so bad and we are 5 sharing it, so i pay less than $25. The house is quite old, but its serving its purpose and its just 2mins walk to where i have all my classes and not far from where most stores are located meaning i do a lot of walking around, though i don't know how easy that will be during the winter, but am making friends with quite alot of people that has been giving me rides to places of recent. Hopefully they will be handy during the winter. I get free internet access courtesy my super cute American neighbors living upstairs. got a very cheap phone of $12 just for calls and i do only limited minutes and text messages. Thanks to whatsapp and other calling apps

Now, why am i saying all this, if you believe in God and in yourself, and you have dream of coming to America, pls work hard to make it happen. And when you get here, pls dont stop working hard and believing in God. I met a naija boy here from ekiti by birth but brought up in Surulere (Aguda), he left lagos when he was 16yrs old. Things went wrong with his folks along the way and they couldn't make it after a year of his study, the boy is now in his 3rd yrs (supposed to be a senior but left school for a year due to hardship but he is back and doing well this semester) all by himself with little or no support from his folks back home. He's into street, but then, he must survive and thats exactly what he's doing- surviving. he does undertable jobs and run errands in addition to official school job. I always advise him to keep his head up, stay focus and get his kpale. he's just 20 now and hopefully he will be through in 2yrs because he's very determine. Things might be rough, but determination is the key.

Personally, i be guy way like flexing, but since i enter this town, i never enter one bar. why? because i know wetin carry me come here. My neighbors do offer to take me out on weekends, but i need that time to prepare to coach my Arab boys for the money. I cook like once every two weeks, infact since i came ive cooked only on two days, but on those days, i make sure i cook what will last me atleast 10days or more. Bread for sandwich always dey on standby. ALDI is close to me, so i get my milk and bread there. when free, i attend farmers market for veggies and other things i will need.

So please come one, come all if you can.. lol. My case might be different from yours, but believe me, if you know what you are doing, and have little support from folks and love once back home, you will survive. Worst case scenario, u enter street, do the needful. Its still (or might still be) a better life than what you'll probably get back home (that's by the way an advice for last resort). In the end, you will look back and tell yourself after all i gave it a trial. As it is always said, when its all said and done, the things you regret most are the things you dream of doing but couldn't do than the things you try and fail.

P.S. Is it crime to do assignment for person? Its all for the money oh.

LagosismyHome:
The thin line between morally and legally. ..... legally on your side . it may not be wrong however on the other side the receiving person can be said to plagiarise your work and that can have consequences depending on the school...so just tread carefully and make sure you cover urself in the quest for money. .....such cover can be you both sit and work on the assignment (that way its both of u work even if technically u are the main driver , like the way some artist change one word in a song and then claim ownership)..... instead of u doing it alone and sending it via " traceable trail" .....

Dont forget the Chinese cheating scandal is still fresh in the air

Please which bank has the lowest dollar rate for online payment. I want to open account with them.

Thanks.

cariza:
Thanks Ma. I will try and look for another good course that is management related. Both my Bsc and Msc results were good (4point and distinction respectively). I will also research any funding/scholarship I can get because my family will be sponsoring me. I believe relocating will help me in starting a new life and at the same time be able to give his son which he left behind the best he has always wanted. I appreciate your swift response Ma.
