2018 the year of good resolutions and upholding commitments

Hello everyone,

I am back from 2012!! My god, time sure does fly fast. I am still alive and kicking, but i guess i let life get the best out of me. I have had amazing experiences happen to me those 6 years, and felt like sharing my tips, knowledge and blessings god has provided to me with others out there.
My friends and colleagues ( yes i am no longer a student now...story to come soon.) consider me as the place to go when they want tips on certain subjects ( cheap housing, work permit, etc.), i have been through a lot since my students days.

Here a some subjects we will be discussing about this year:

  • Financial aid: the summer of my first year, i learned that may be eligible for financial aid directly from my school !! That was crazy, i will tell you how i found out, how you can too and the entire process.
  • Getting my first student job: being a student isn't cheap and here if you can, you better get yourself some side pocket money to help finance your dreams ( a.k.a my study abroad) even if you have financial aid, the experience is invaluable.
  • Study abroad: i finally got to study abroad ( those long TOEFL self study paid off) and in a very exotic destinations! I will tell you all about it, things to consider when picking a study abroad destination when in FRANCE ( study abroad in mandatory in most french business school to be allowed to graduate, so you better not break the bank here!)
  • Finding my first "real internship": how i managed to land one after many bad interviews, rejections letter and a short time frame.
  • Choosing my master's major: in France, almost everyone has a master's degre, i will get in more details about tips and courses.
  • Landing my first job before graduating :  how you can be a "go getter " too, steps, process, etc.
  • Giving back to my school: coaching underpriviledged students.
  • And Lifestyle changes that have happened to me since i have started working A.K.A living the corporate life  ( work permit, travels, friendships, beauty, citizenship, etc.)
Hopefully i can be of help to people out there. You don't have to be african to benefit from my tips, everyone can learn from the process i went through. If you are interested in coming to the wonderful country that is France, please stay tuned .
