I’ve been in the UK for almost 5 months, and my stay here hasn't been easy It has been so complicated and also demanding. Moving to the UK has challenged me in many ways, and one of the things it has brought out is my survivor instinct. I’ve been doing a lot of things that I’m very sure I wouldn’t have done if I had stayed back in Nigeria and this challenge has put me on my toes, I’m always thinking of ways to be better.
It has never been easy for me and even if you have a lot of money, moving into a new country is not always easy because you are moving away from your family and surroundings that you were used to, It always takes a while to really settle down but that’s not only my problem It has not been easy for me because I’m starting a new life which has been very demanding and also very hard and this is because I’m at the beginning of the process.
The beginning
I’m not surprised by my struggles for the past five months. It is one of those things i was expecting, even though I don’t foresee that it’ll be this crazy, but I was expecting some challenges because I knew that it is always tough at the beginning of every process, no matter how good you are as long as you are trying something for the first time or you are in the beginning of any process it’s always take a while before it gets better. You’re going to face some challenges and as time goes on you get everything together.
this is where you might feel discouraged sometimes I had different thoughts about the decision I made, and how is not the best at the moment but I’m also wise enough to know that the beginning is not always easy and it will get better with time and after five months, I can say that things are not the best yet but I’m starting to feel a little bit better because now I’m starting to know my way around the system and understand the people, their culture and also the environment.
The good
Over the month i have had every reason to complain and also change my mind, but I just keep on going, waking up with the hope that everything will be better and also that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Things haven’t been great yet, but it is better than when I first came in. I know I’m still in the beginning of the process I will keep waking up, wishing that everything will get better as time goes on.
