This story takes place in a small village in Nigeria, where Ngozi was born. Her father, a truck driver by profession with no formal education, but had the opportunity of traveling outside his village, town and country. He knew the merits of having an education and career, and made a decision to ensure that all his children become educated, even against the cultural norm of his time. Ngozi witnessed her father, a man endowed with great wisdom and communication but, struggled with communicating in English language both verbally and written. On one such occasion, he was denied his meager salary due to his inability to sign his pay check. Ngozi was determined not to find herself in such situation, will do anything within her strength good education. She did not allow any challenges, no matter what, to stand between her and her goals. Whenever any challenges came her way, she would immediately and positively find an alternative means of forging ahead. Her energy was geared toward always positive outcomes. In her education, marriage, and career, positive energy was all she required to overcome the difficulties and challenges before and after her migration to the USA to seek a better life. A lot has been documented as to the reasons behind global nurse migration-the pull and push factors-but for her, the decision to overcome obstacles as well as the strength and willingness to sacrifice and achieve her goals, constitute the push behind her move. Above all, Ngozi believe that whatever successes or failures encountered in her migration, her firm belief is that God had a purpose for her life .This belief is rooted in: Jeremiah 29:11. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. (NIV).
