Part B:
8 months ago, I moved to the USA in search of the “American Dream.” The last eight months has been the most challenging, the most promising and also the most rewarding period of my career. Although the American Dream hasn’t been achieved in full circle, I am thankful for the opportunity to yet again TRAIL-BLAZE in corporate America 🙏🏿.
My knowledge and experience is now making contributions to the advancement of digital manufacturing and Industry 4.0 at #Cummins and this has received the deserved credits: https://www.cummins.com/news/2019/03/07/cummins-takes-next-step-3d-printing-and-future-manufacturing
America, thank you for welcoming me, my blackness, my youthfulness and my multiple foreign degrees with open hands. I am indeed grateful for the career advancements, the accolades and the chance to thrive without boundaries.
I had a DREAM, I DESIGNED a plan, I put in the WORK, GOD provided a FERTILE ground, I took the calculated RISK and I hope you can see the RESULTS.
In this second quarter of 2019, I hope you will take at least one major risk and give it all you’ve got.
