Tebu, Marshall,that's what I'm called and that's the name i represent. Born and raised Nigerian who has seen different cultures from different people, the way people view life and also the way people approach them. And I'm in this class to get more insight on how different people think and approach situations to make me more well rounded and relatable.
I was born in Lagos, Nigeria to a lovely family. Born and raised Anglican, i went to church almost every Sunday my parents were around till i came to the States 2 years ago and then i fell off, or did I? did i really care that much? haha. I thought maybe i just loved the warm feeling knowing a greater person was watching over me but as everyone has felt in life, sometimes certain things make us believe less or more but we never know our true stance.
Back in high school, i was averagely smart i would say, in the sense that i knew all the concept of things. An all rounder also, as i was in the school track and field team, arguably one of the best in my district running in my 11's, and then i fell in love with the game of gridiron football except the name which lacks authenticity. I remember telling my older brother about my love for the sport, and i recollect him telling me to start to hit brick walls as they would make me stronger and that was 5 years ago so I'm glad i stopped. I came to the states and i would say America has its way of changing dreams, not for the worse but a bit better even though the road isn't easy. Been in just 7 states, i've met people with different reasoning and thoughts,and it interests me. Life is such a puzzle as everyone thinks. I have questioned life and it's meaning to show itself to me, but i guess the meaning it gives is up to me.
