My First Published Article

The very first article I ever had published was called ‘Beauty, Adventure and Geology in Alaska’ and it appeared in NAPE News in late 2002/ early 2003.  NAPE News is the official magazine of NAPE (Nigerian Association of Petroleum Explorationists).  I studied Geology, remember? 

Anyway, I was the student editor of the magazine and when the article first appeared, I showed it to my entire family and basked in the admiring noises they made.  I felt like a celebrity.  Of course, an article of mine appearing in NAPE News (even if my picture also appeared in the magazine) hardly made me a celebrity.  Fortunately, nobody pointed that out to me though.
