As a mama's baby I always had my mom by my side everytime I traveled, whether it was to boarding school or the neighboring city, she was always there but this time I was alone. I had imagined my first trip abroad to be the best time of my life because I knew mommy would make it special but this time I had to face it all by myself. The zeal and the fear were both mixed together and all I could think about was what If this scholarship is fake and im being scammed, a lot of questions were passing my mind. The moment I separated with my mom I felt the separation, the bond being stretched and i wanted to tear up but I told myself I was a brave girl. I boarded the plane and I lucky for me i was spitted next to two very generous gentlemen who kept asking me if I was okay or if I wanted to eat any, truly speaking those two gentlemen were my saviors. My journey was made easy. Then we reached Dubai where I was suppose to get my connecting flight, i told myself be brave and ask questions like what mommy had said, i did that and things went smoothly. While waiting for my flight, a lady came to me and asked me to look after her bags while she went to the bathroom and i remembered being told never accept such requests from strangers in the airport because they might have drugs and other stuff so I politely refused and she understood why, it was a long wait for the next flight and finally I boarded the last flight to India, I was at ease now, knowing someone was waiting for me on the other end of the line it was a big relief. Arriving at the airport I found no one with a waver bearing my name, my heart Started pounding harder than when I left home, the place was new and I was lost, what was I going to do? Who do I call? the language was a barrier too. I took my cases outside and then I met my escorts, the relief I had wasthe best feeling ever then we embarked on another journey to the University which was one long drive, i fell asleep so i didn't count the hours plus my time was still in the Central African Time so checking the time wouldn't have help me much.
