The only obstacle many young Americans face in attending a university in the United States after the tuition check or financial aid has cleared is merely getting their assignments in on time. Even if covering tuition poses a problem at a major university, a student in the United States has the option of attending a less expensive college or enrolling in a community college to take general studies in the interim of saving up to attend a major university.
Everyday for eight months Nsiesi was in survival mode to get an education as well as saving his life. He decided to join the family business to help bring income to his family. Nsiesi definitely did not grow up in the happy, successful Huxtable family structure from the hit television series The Cosby Show or even what has become the norm for most children — a single parent household.
Either would have been ideal for Joseph Nsiesi. He was separated from his siblings when his mother passed away and his father sent him to live with his uncle and aunts at a very young age. The painful hand that was dealt him at the age of seven was forced, accepted and not to be questioned in his culture. Nsiesi just knew he wanted to make money to live and provide a comfortable life for himself, his girlfriend Nenette, and his family some day. The only thing in his way was how he was going to make this happen.

The family business took a turn for the worst over night as robbers and vandals destroyed the family business robbing them of everything. There was no coming back to rebuild as the government and authorities were just as corrupt as the criminals. For any man to watch his family go hungry, Nsiesi grew angry, restless, and was proactive for change. Soldiers came searching for those demanding justice in their country.

Most men in their 20s are starting careers and discovering the world. They are far removed from even the realities of young men and women across town in the United States facing death everyday much less young people in other countries. Nsiesi had to decide whether it was safe for his family and his love Nenette for him to remain in the home or leave in hopes of building a better life for his family.
Waking up to the possibility of death everyday by the hands of his own government, he felt he had no choice. He looked to the Congo River that he once viewed as overwhelming and frightening. Against the wishes of his uncles, aunts, and Nenette and spiritually torn between leaving those he loved, he got on a boat baleniere headed up the Congo River.
His journey on the river was either going to sail him to hope or lead him to his imminent death. Once Nsiesi made it onto the overly crowded boat and gained distance from his hometown, he began to feel the possibilities and freedom. But life made sure he did not get too comfortable. Death crept in as it took the life of his traveling friend lying next to him on the boat. Nsiesi himself took on the same symptoms that had taken his friend.
He knew it was just a matter of days before he would die on the river from the mysterious illness as well. But one thing Nsiesi held onto more than food and water, it was his faith in God. As many were dehydrated and starving on the journey to hope, he talked to God to feed his soul. Bleeding and in excruciating pain, he held onto his Bible. The will of God overpowered his physical and saw him through a month long journey on a river that was his only way out.
Nsiesi finally arrived in Mbandaka exhausted and still very ill, but the fight and journey was far from over. He encountered more thieves and corruption from his own people Christians and Muslims as he got settled to start a new life, but his faith in God kept him moving forward when most would have given up.
