Produktbeschreibung
William Kunle Adeniyi was born into obscurity in a Nigerian world in which only the fittest survived. Education was a weapon of survival. However, he realized it was one commodity that seemed beyond the reach of him as an orphan. Stegomyia is the story of how William overcame seemingly insurmountable personal and financial challenges by a combination of Divine Intervention, personal grit, which opened the gates of a university to him in the United States, where he soon found out that all that glitters is not gold. The memoir is a compelling chronicle of a life lived in defiance of the odd as he struggled from the perils of Nigeria's political bloodbath to survival of the US immigration law, from bullies in early childhood to racist colleagues and professors in the US; from despair when everything was taken from him to dawning hope of people who believed in his future. The book is a clear-eyed, honest assessment of what it means to embrace the American Dream. Stegomyia is both inspirational and cautionary, an epic true story of determination and hard work. Hoping to inspire the younger generation and aspirants of all ages to keep reaching, no matter the obstacles, Adeniyi wrote Stegomyia: The Story of My Life to express the power of resilience and honesty and the benefits of hard work-even in the face of a society that does not always live up to those same ideals.
