Various individuals have equally diverse things that have influenced their lives. For some, their greatest influence comes from a person or a group of persons. For me however, I have been influenced the most by my books. I discovered the overwhelming influence of books quite early in life. My books are my most consistent companions. I do have human companions, no doubt. But whereas human beings change their opinions and facial expressions unexpectedly, my books never change their opinions. Each time I open a book I read the previous day, its contents remain the same.
My dream of being a university professor is very much alive. I know that my books remain the main vehicle that can help to transport me to the promised land. They console me in times of sorrow,rejoice with me in moments of bliss and advise me in periods of confusion. I have embraced my books warmly. I know for sure that so long as I do not abandon them, they would never abandon me. And so long as they do not abandon me, my goal remains achieveable.
