¶ … strength lies in your ability to give up something good in order to attain the best. It is not the easiest thing to do since there are many risks involved but if you feel in your heart that best is yet to come and allowing something good to go so you can fulfill your destiny and achieve the best then you should follow your heart. Such an opportunity for me arose at two different points in my life. One was when I was working for Early Bird Messenger Company and realized that if I had entrepreneurial skills and should start working for myself. I loved the idea of being my own boss and that's when I started my own business. This was an exciting new arena for me and I enjoyed following a different schedule, a new routine and simply a new lifestyle. But as all good things must come to an end, at one point I came to realize that business was not giving me what I had expected and made the extremely difficult decision of selling my firm. It was like letting my child go and consider someone else his parents. But I knew this was in my best professional interest. I wanted to go back to school to complete by Bachelors. And while going back meant I also needed to find a job and manage both studies and work at the same time, I still felt this was the right thing to do. Looking back, I consider myself lucky for having had the courage to let go of something that looked good in order to achieve something that looked and felt even better.
Response to Question 4:
Since I come from Africa, I feel a deep connection to my roots and am naturally very sensitive about all social and political problems facing this part of the world. I seriously want to be able to help my people in Senegal-Africa because one cannot even imagine the problems they have to encounter everyday. Poverty has crippled the continent and I wish more trade agreements were made among countries in this region. If there were no trade barriers, people would find it easier to conduct business and economy would get stronger. Sadly wealthier nations are too busy with their shallow issues to seriously think about poverty and diseases in this unfortunate part of the world. I feel its now up to the few luckier ones like myself to bring about a positive difference in our region.
