Life is not just about counting the days that has gone by, but it is about making each day count as you strive to survive. Therefore you ought to explore more and enrich your experience when you get the chance. Being an exchange student has helped me to enrich my life with one year. It has been an amazing journey with the ups and downs, the twists and turns. That is why I want to share my journey with you, I want you to hear the story of Africa being told by one of their own;one who has lived there and knows what it is like to be in Africa and also view America from the eyes of a Non American Black. Always remember that what you read here is my opinion and observation, besides we are all entitled to our opinions. Life is like a page and those who do not travel read only a page . Saint Augustine
