It\u2019s possible you\u2019re reading about me for the first time, well, I\u2019m Isaac Odoma, an Aeronautical Engineering student and today is my birthday.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s my birthday and one word that describe how I feel is \u201cThankful\u201d Thankful for how far I have come and for the things I\u2019m learning. At first, I was hesitant to celebrate today, I usually don\u2019t like parties but aside that I was wondering what exactly is there to celebrate, it felt like celebrating too early. Twenty-one through twenty-four have been quite some interesting and challenging years for me. But I realized there\u2019s a lot to be thankful for, so here are a few things I\u2019m thankful for, things I\u2019ve learnt and I\u2019m learning. Hopefully it\u2019ll bring you some value.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What I\u2019m learning.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

From my very small experience I have realized that no matter how prepared you are, changing cultures, living in another country will always bring you surprises you never anticipated. It may even reveal a part of you you\u2019ve never seen before. As you also get older, it becomes obvious that they will be a few (if lucky) unexpected things you never prepared for that you\u2019d have to face. For this, it is very important to be well grounded and learn to trust God more. Interestingly enough, the more you trust God, the more you\u2019ll have (learn) to trust him.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Kindness<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Being kind from the dept of your heart is something that will bring you tremendous joy. And I mean kindness that\u2019s not only shown to your friends or those you directly or indirectly expect to reciprocate. I\u2019m learning that no act of kindness goes unrewarded, being able to put a smile of someone\u2019s face. I have seen that Love and Kindness multiplies and I want to be a multi-multiplier of that. <\/em>Perhaps you should try it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Personal Encounter<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Growing up in Nigeria it was easy not to have your faith challenged often, either by people or circumstances. Moving to an entirely different but very liberal culture, that was not the case for me. But one thing that proved very helpful was the place of an encounter. For lack of better words to explain; they\u2019ve been times where I literarily was only standing on personal encounters that\u2019ve had before. It was like my only hanging rope. But some experiences are too real to forget or deny. Nothing beats the place of a personal relationship with God, to my friends and readers I urge you to cultivate, build and nurture such a relationship with God as early as possible. And do some Christian apologetics.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What I\u2019m thankful for<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I am thankful for this \u201cprocess\u201d, although very different from what I anticipated, its been an interesting Journey with so much to learn and so much to look forward to.<\/p>\n

Over the past few years I have come across the most incredible set of people which I will forever be thankful for. This reminds me of the time I was in Ghana for my Dutch visa, in the hostel where I lodged, I meet two amazing Dutch on vacation. We got talking and hearing that I was planning to travel to their country, they were super excited, we exchanged contacts and was told to reach out when I arrive. Little did I know this will be the beginning of a wonderful friendship. They happened to be my first Dutch friends, helping me navigate my way around a new country I just got to and continue to remain an incredible support for which I am grateful.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How I\u2019m celebrating and How you can support me.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Thinking of ideas for celebrating my birthday, I thought what\u2019s better than using this opportunity to raise more awareness for my gofundme campaign<\/a> where I\u2019m raising money for my studies. If you want to gift me a birthday day present, I would appreciate you to support my campaign here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Like Mike Tyson said, \u201cEveryone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.\u201d That\u2019s a quote that summaries my story. On the gofundme page<\/a> you can read more about my story and why I\u2019m crowd funding my studies.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

<\/p>\n

What I\u2019m working on with Friends.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

One of the great advantages of traveling is the opportunity to collect experiences. This sole opportunity makes a lot of difference, it makes you have a different perspective, helps you think differently, see more possibilities and further sparks you to connect the dots.<\/p>\n

Next to my passion for Aeronautics is the passion to just solve problems. And for this, Nigeria is a bunch of opportunities. Me and my very good friend Victor Onoja have spotted a common challenge among Nigerian students that we have now found a solution to.<\/p>\n

I am first passionate about Aeronautics and then Nigeria. I believe that the Nigerian people deserves more and waiting on only government policies or nationalization to cause the change Nigeria deserves will be waiting for ever.<\/p>\n

Therefore, I have teamed up with some very brilliant minds, to solve the Student accommodation challenges as experienced by most Nigerian students in Tertiary institutions.<\/p>\n

Imagine as a Nigerian student, you can just search for an off-campus accommodation of your choice right on your phone, or search for a roommate, someone to share a room with and split the rent. Imagine you don\u2019t have to pay exorbitant agent fees to get an accommodation. Well, imagine no more because we will be launching an online student Housing website that solves all this problem soon.<\/p>\n

Watch this space for more information about this.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Thank You<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I would like to use this opportunity to finally thank everyone that has supported me or is currently supporting me, my amazing friends, my sponsors; those known and those who prefer to remain anonymous. You are one of the reasons I made it this far.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Thank You.<\/p>\n
