All I Wanted Was an Education: The Epic of a Foreign Student

Rating:
Summary: The Journey through Education
Review: I highly recommend this book. I have recommended that my students read this book. It is the incredible journey of a man whose desire to obtain an education in America led him to leave his country of Nigeria. This true story documents the trials of one man who left behind his country, his family, his life, to face the uncertain future in a new country in order to be better educated. He overcame cultural, ecomonic and language barriers, often relying on the goodness of others and the strength from his faith. A rare insight into the life of a Catholic Priest in his pursuit of higher education to follow an even higher calling. It is exciting, poignant, and touching.
