"As a child I always wanted to experience different cultures outside of Ghana. My parents saved up and gave me the opportunity to come to Canada to study at the university. I am very grateful for the sacrifices that my parents make each and every day for me just so I can be here to have the life that they always wanted. I was very worried before I came to UNB and Canada in general. I think the perspective of the Western world to the others of the world, especially America, is not necessarily a good one. But I think that Canada has definitely changed my perspective in the sense that people are more accepting here. I haven’t regretted my decision coming here, this place is definitely home to me now."
