miss home

i miss my family and friends so much. its been 8 months but it seems like forever. i havent never been away from home this long.with my familyin Nigeria, i could only communicate with them every so often due to the time zone. So sometimes, i would talk to them as early as 4.00am our time. it didn't matter because i was eager to hear form my loved ones back home. Even though i miss my family dearly, i've come to copes with the United states and most of customs and traditions. At first it was hard trying to understand, but as time went by, it became easier. Although i miss home, i came here for a purpose to gain an educaton. And i would work hard to accomplish it.
