The Power of Me
The beginning of my life and my childhood were not an ordinary one by most people’s standards, it started in a world far away from the place I live now and was raised. Guinea in Africa is where my parent’s happened to be as I made my entrance into this world, a place most people would consider different and exotic for parents with a European and Canadian background. Still, this is where we lived for the first few years of my life as my father’s career had brought us there and when we spent time traveling the world, living among, and visiting various cultures and communities which left me believing that this was what everyone did, that that was what life was all about. But I had a bit of a rude awakening once we stopped travelling and settled in a rural Canadian community, I realized rather quickly that most people are born and live within the same area most of their lives and only travel to different parts of the world as part their vacation if travel is not viewed as a luxury.
