About Me
Hello!
Welcome to my blog.
Hope is my name.
I’m here to make a difference.
I’m inspired by people who don’t allow their limitations limit them. People who want to live life to the fullest despite the obstacles. People who won’t give up until they win.
This is who I am.
I want to spread a positive energy in a world where there is so much negativity.
Speaking is a way of impacting positive energy to people. I’m available to speak at conferences, events, and gatherings.
Topics of expertise include, Human Trafficking, Integration of Immigrants, Multiculturalism and Bilingualism. Positive Living, among others.
I was born in Nigeria from where I have a degree in English and Literary Studies. I live in Finland.
I’m completing my first novel and I equally write short stories, one of which has won an award.
I’m currently learning Finnish language and food at a vocational school.
In addition, I teach part time, and I give lectures, speeches at events.
My goal is to blog at least once a week.
Contact: obiagelin(at)ymail.com.
Happy reading!
Hi Hope,
It’s me, Perse, from way back when on Far Beyond the Stars. I know I probably look a little different…underwent this weird mutation and now I’m a human and not a horse 😉 Also going by my real name now. And my blog changed addresses too—it’s ScienceAtYourDoorstep.com now. Sorry for all the confusion… Anyway, how’s the blogging going? Loved your recent post on starting college…that was last year, for me, and I remember the hustle and stress sooooo well…but it was worth it!

Hi Hope, I’m from the pool.
I’ve noticed that when giving people your link, you say it ‘storieswithoutborders’ one too many times, while I believe that what you really mean is ‘storieswithoutborder’ (without ‘S’). I guess this might cost you some potential readers. 🙂
