Loving You Is My Biggest Priority (Ben x Reader)

Plot: Ben and you are expecting your second child, and while he’s very excited, you can’t help but think about how nervous you are about taking care of two kids.

Warnings: Pregnancy + anxiety over said pregnancy

A/N: I have never written for Ben specifically before, though he is one of my favorite Losers. He’s really the human embodiment of a teddy bear and Jay Ryan is a pleasant looking man so 👀

—————————————————————————

You sighed as you laid down on your side, rubbing your hand over your swollen belly as you watched your husband, Ben, play with your three year old daughter, Gracie. The couch felt like a cloud compared to your bed for some odd reason, but you wouldn’t regret spending any more time with your husband, even if all of his attention was on your guys’ daughter. He had been away on a business trip in Dubai, but since your due date was approaching fast, he decided to come home to help you. Admittedly, you were nervous about having two babies running around. You were scared Gracie wasn’t going to like the new baby or that you wouldn’t be able to watch both of them and one of them would get hurt. But what you were most nervous about was that you were going to have to do it alone most of the time.

Ben travelled a lot for work, and while you didn’t mind it because it provided for your family, you had to admit that the millions of things that could go wrong ran through your head at the pace of a speeding train. It was already very difficult for you to imagine being a mother to one child, now two? You couldn’t possibly handle it. You were pulled out of your thoughts when Ben tapped your legs, silently asking you to move them so that he could sit. When he sat, you moved them back onto his lap, and he started massaging your calves and ankle, trying to take the swelling down on them as Gracie chased her little motor car around the living room with a smile on her face.

You closed your eyes and felt a warmth wash over you as Ben put the throw blanket over your arms and upper body. You smiled softly, tapping his stomach lightly with your foot as he giggled. You heard Gracie run back in, a loud laugh indicating her presence and then Ben gave her a soft “hush”, pointing to you to show that you were trying to take a nap.

“Oh okay,” Gracie whisper yelled, causing you to laugh lightly before you drifted off into sleep.

———————

You awoke to the soft sound of the oven beeping, noticing immediately that Ben had gotten up from his spot underneath your legs. You sat up slowly with a soft groan, feeling blood rush both to your head and your legs. You stretched, feeling the blanket fall off the catch and then hearing little footsteps run into the living room.

“Mommy,” Gracie yelled loudly, causing you to wince as she ran right at you. You put a finger up, indicating to her that she had to be careful if she was going to hug you. She walked the last two feet slowly, wrapping her little arms tightly around your neck as she stood on her tippy toes to try and avoid putting too much pressure on your stomach.

“Hi, Baby,” you answered softly, your voice laced with sleep. “Is Dad making dinner?” She nodded eagerly, grabbing your hand and trying to drag you off the couch. You stood up slowly, frowning at the way your ankles cracked and ached. Gracie ran ahead, waiting at the doorway between the kitchen and living room. You smiled at her and leaned down slowly to give her a kiss on the forehead, your heart skipping at the giggles that erupted from her.

“How was your nap, my dear,” Ben asked as he walked toward both of you, giving you a soft kiss on the nose. You shrugged, snuggling your head into his neck as your arms wrapped around his waist. He hugged your back, leaving a kiss in your hair as he went back over to the oven. Gracie was putting napkins at the table, admittedly very messily, but you were sure she was doing it because Ben asked her to.

“It smells good, Ben,” you said softly, looking over at your daughter as she came around the table to snuggle into your side. “Are you making it with-“

“Gluten free pasta?” he asked confidently, wanting to impress you that he remembered. Gluten had been an issue for you during both pregnancies, but when you weren’t pregnant, it didn’t bother your stomach at all. You had found out that you were that way when you were pregnant with Gracie because she had a gluten allergy, and you assumed it was the same issue with the new baby as well. You smiled at him, throwing him a wink as he blushed.

Mommy! Mommy,” Gracie said, yanking on your arm to get you attention. You turned to her to see her pointing at the table, each placement having a fork and napkin, the knives still in the center of the table. “Daddy said not to touch to knives so...”

Her little voice trailed off as she shrugged her shoulders. You smiled at her, kissing her forehead. “I think you did wonderful, Gracie. I’ll get the knives don’t worry.” You leaned over the table slightly, grabbing the knives and putting them in front of your’s and Ben’s usual seats. Ben smiled as he brought over the bowl of pasta, placing it in the center of the table before going back to the stove to grab the chicken that he had made to go along with it. Gracie immediately went and sat in her seat, watching you spoon pasta onto her plate. She stuck her fork into a piece of it and smiled as she shoved it into her mouth.

Ben came back with the chicken, having already cut up a piece for Gracie. She smiled at him and gave a quick “thank you” before resuming her quiet meal. Ben sat down at the head of the table on your left side, looking across at the vacant seat longingly. He looked back at you as you scooped pasta onto your plate, handing it over to him.

“That seat’ll be filled soon,” he said with a soft smile. “I can’t wait.” Your heart raced, loving the fact that you were both excited for the new baby; however, the scary thoughts of failure plagued your mind, yet you smiled back.

“I know,” you replied giddily. “I’m excited.”

———————

You stared at yourself in the standing mirror you had in your bedroom, admiring the baby bump. You felt the baby move a little, causing you to smile and then you pulled on one of Ben’s shirts and climbed into bed. Ben came in moments later, his hair wet from the shower and his eyes tired. He was severely jet lagged, but he was adamant on being with you the entire time he was home, not wanting to take any naps and missing out on something cute that Gracie did or that the baby did. Ben snuggled right up next to you, wrapping one arm around your back and putting the other over your belly, giving it a soft kiss.

“Are you comfy,” he asked, his eyes closed and his face nuzzled into your neck. You nodded, kissing his forehead. You reached over to turn off the lamp next to your bed, checking to make sure your door was open a crack just in case Gracie had a nightmare or wanted to snuggle. You turned back to him, his eyes bloodshot and already looking at you.

“Go to sleep, Baby,” you whispered, reaching around underneath him to hold him closer. “I’m comfy.”

“Are you okay?” he asked suddenly. You furrowed your eyebrows. “I-I don’t know you kinda looked a little strange earlier when I said something about the dinner table being full soon. Do you...do you not want another baby?” You heard the hurt in his voice and started shaking your head.

“No, Ben, that’s not it at all,” you said back. “I’m just...a little scared. Usually I’m with Gracie by myself a lot, and I know that’s none of your fault because it’s your job, but I’m just scared that everything will be...” You felt tears pricking at your eye and you sniffled, bringing your free hand up to wipe your eyes. “I just don’t want to be a bad mom. Two babies and me? I’m outnumbered.”

Ben pulled you closer to him, sitting up so that he was looking over you. “Baby, you’re going to be a great mom. Sure, they’ll be a little bit of a strange transition period where you’ll possibly give one a bit more attention than the other, but you’ll get the hang of it. Plus, I didn’t want to tell you before it was confirmed, but we’re looking to hire another CEO so that I can be home more.” He leaned down and kissed your cheek.

“Really,” you asked hopefully, wiping the stray tears. He nodded down at you before laying back against the mattress and pulling you to cuddle into his side. His free hand rubbed over the baby bump, smiling a little as he felt the baby move inside.

“You really think I was going to miss both of my babies grow up,” he said jokingly, snuggling his face into your messy hair and leaving kisses. “I have to be here. Not just for you but for me, too.”

“Thank you, Love,” you said softly, leaning up and snuggling your face into his neck. He made a tiny noise in acknowledgment before wrapping his arms around you tighter and drifting off to sleep.

Wondering about SAT coaching in UAE?

Many students are planning to continue their studies abroad these days. To do so, they need to be well versed in what the SAT and SAT Subject tests are. Every student needs to decide on which exams they will take to make admission to their dream educational institution a bit easier. There are a lot of great SAT coaching centers in the UAE, especially in Dubai. Out of all of them, EduQuest in UAE is a great choice for aspirants.

Every coaching institute will require you to choose a certain SAT course and get in touch with your counselor on how to progress and also for further clarity. Choosing the correct institution is vital as good training will enable you to clear the exams on the first attempt. Coaching centers provide the students with the opportunity to learn effectively and adjust according to their needs.

Students can choose whether they want to attend SAT online or SAT offline prep classes, or whether they will be more comfortable in a class or one-on-one sessions. SAT coaching in UAE will allow the aspirants to interact with the best SAT trainers and this, in turn, will help them to master the SAT exam. Therefore, students should look for an institute will specialized training which will suit their needs, and one which guarantees high scores.

Know more about the SAT exam

Before getting into your SAT preparation, it is important to get familiar with the SAT exam itself.

What is the SAT exam?

The College Board conductsSAT or Scholastic Aptitude Test and it tries to measure the natural talent for learning in a student. This standardized test is known widely in the United States for college admissions. It is a multiple-choice exam and it is a pen-and-pencil test. High scores in the SAT exam creates more options for attending college as well as scholarships.

Eligibility

There are no hard and fast rules for this SAT exam as per the College Board criteria. Students who want to do their undergraduate studies abroad appear for SAT exam. As any SAT preparation institute will tell you, there is no age limit for this exam. Generally, students of age 17-19 appear in this test.

SAT exam pattern

There are two main sections for this exam- Evidence-based Reading and Writing, and Math. These two sections are further subdivided into two sections each. The SAT exam also has an essay section of 50 minutes. The math portion is divided into two parts- one where students can use a calculator and one without a calculator. SAT exam with the essay will take about 3 hours and 50 minutes.

What is the right time to join SAT coaching in UAE?

There is no specific time to start preparing for the SAT. Students generally take the exam after finishing high school, so each student has a different plan for their SAT preparation strategy. An average student can clear the exam if he or she continues with SAT preparation for three to four months.

What are the pros and cons of SAT online Classes and SAT offline classes?

SAT online classes-

The fee for the SAT exam Is not that great, but the results and their impact are immense. Below, we discuss some pros and cons of the online and offline mode of SAT preparation.

Pros of SAT Online classes in SAT preparation

The first and most important advantage of online classes in SAT preparation is convenience. This advantage is both for the student as well as the teacher. The student gets to manage his or her own time.

When the student opts for online SAT classes, they can receive guidance for long or short periods, all according to their need. If need be the teachers can establish communication with the parents of the students and counsel them on effective ways of progress for their child.

In today’s economic situations, the cost of an online tutor is slightly less than the offline options. The lower costs also make the option of SAT online classes more viable.

Cons of SAT online classes

There is a risk of getting in line with a lower quality of teaching. The price can be an indicative factor in this matter.

Less face-to-face time does have an impact. Through online classes, the teachers may not get a good understanding of the student’s weak points.

There is the chance of false accreditation, so before you choose online training, make sure that you check out the SAT preparation institute that you want to get into. Also, when attending classes, the student can get distracted easily.

Pros of SAT offline classes

The old traditional methods of teaching also have some advantages. People believe that teachers may pay more attention to the students in an offline setting. Students in turn would have fewer distractions and would perhaps focus more on studies. There will be more chances of interaction between students and teachers. The exchanges of ideas that take place in real-time have a beneficial aspect that cannot be underestimated.

Disadvantages of SAT offline classes

While choosing offline classes for SAT preparation, is going to be a waste of time as well as resources. The student might have saved upon the time of travel and expense, had he settled for the offline mode of SAT coaching. There is no such customization in Offline teaching to a great extent, it is not an independent method of learning.

No Rest for the Wicked

Karen Reis gets introduced to true evil

Retired United States General of the Army Karen Reis teleported back to her home, deep in the Rocky Mountains. She teleported into her training room, and unbuckled her sword belt and shoulder holsters, and set them on their equipment dummy.

She teleported to her washing machine, and took her clothes off and threw them in.

She teleported into the shower, and turned the hot water on all the way. She stood in the stream and scrubbed most of her skin raw, and then let her skin heal before washing her hair.

She turned the water off, and teleported to the nearest towel.

She dried herself off, and teleported to the washing machine again to throw the towel in.

She teleported to her closet, and picked a new wardrobe. Jeans, T-shirt, and a short leather jacket.

She teleported back to her training room, and buckled her shoulder holsters back on.

She teleported to her kitchen and pulled a bottle of water out of her fridge.

She teleported to her bedroom, and grabbed her sunhat and sunglasses from her bed stand.

She teleported to Venice Beach.

It was early morning there. She sat in her usual spot, a bench at the southern edge of the beach. She watched the waves roll in and out, sipping her water, while she waited for her contact to arrive.

“You’re early,” the contact said when he sat down five minutes after Karen arrived.

“I wanted to enjoy the view,” Karen answered.

“That’s your prerogative, I guess.” He handed her a file in a manila envelope. “Usual payment. Delivered upon confirmation of kill.”

“It’ll get done,” Karen said before standing up and teleported back home.

She opened the envelope, and saw the contract. Some Saudi businessman. She didn’t recognise him, so he must have only been a bit player in the Caliphate cold war. Nobody anyone would miss.

She teleported to her bedroom and left her briefly worn clothes in a folded stack at the foot of her bed. She teleported to her training room, and geared up. Lycra catsuit, body armor, and ballistic face mask. She strapped her sword belt on, and then teleported to Dubai.

She appeared on the beach, facing the city. It was late evening. The contract said that the target lived in the Burj Khalifa, 150th floor.

She teleported up to the 150th floor. The room she teleported into had 3 armed guards, who scrambled to take out the intruder. She drew her swords and quickly dispatched them, and then pulled a couple of bullets out of herself, putting them in her pocket when she had retrieved them. She noticed that she had bled on the floor, and dragged one of the guardsman's bleeding corpses through her droplets to obscure them. A door burst open, and another 3 guards opened fire.

Karen teleported behind them and took them out. There were even more guards rushing into the room Karen had teleported into. They all raised their guns and took aim, stupidly waiting for Karen to make the first move.

She rolled her eyes, and swiftly drew her dual modified Berettas. Ten targets, 30 rounds. Too easy. They all hit the ground within half a second of one another. She slid the pistols back into their holsters, and then retrieved her bullets from her targets, and put them in her pocket.

She examined the penthouse, now that the guards had been taken care of. Fairly expansive, taking up a slice of two floors of the tower. No sign of the target, but evidence suggested that he had been home very recently. She closely examined the walls...

“Bingo.” She spotted the seam of a secret door, cleverly hidden by some carved paneling. She searched the area for the requisite hidden switch, and found it, hidden in the very same paneling. She pressed it and it revealed the safe room behind it. There was a biometric lock on the thick steel door.

It would be risky teleporting in without having an idea what’s on the other side, but she wasn’t seeing any other way.

She teleported into the small room, and was greeted by her target.

“AHHH!” the target yelled.

She grabbed him by the neck, and opened the safe room from the inside. “Hello.”

“What does the US military want with me?!”

A bit presumptuous, Karen thought, him assuming that the only people who would bother to assassinate him were the USA. “Oh, the military doesn’t want anything to do with you. This is a private hit.” She dragged the target out of the safe room, and to a window.

“What are you doing!?”

She shot the window, facing out towards the sea, and the window shattered. “I’m gonna see how big a mess I can make out of you. See if you turn into world news. Now, if you wouldn’t mind screaming on your way down...”

Karen tossed him out the window, and he obliged. A considerable while later, he hit the ground.

“I’ll give him nine out of ten. Bad form, but he really stuck the landing,” Karen commented as she started unbuckling her ballistic mask.

She teleported up to the peak of the tower, and looked out over the Persian Gulf, just barely being able to see the coast of what used to be Iran. Her facade of sociopathy melted away in the cool breeze.

She sighed, and teleported to her prayer spot, a hundred or so miles north of Baghdad. A cave, in the side of a mountain, in a region that she had been told once had previously been named Eden. She sat, on her simple prayer mat, and prayed. Prayed that the Celestial Warrior was real. Prayed to the god that the Celestial Warrior represented, to send her along, and usher in the Revelation and the Second Coming.

Karen was a very religious woman, but that fact was a sacredly kept secret. Only Alice Prince, whom Karen liked to think of as her closest friend, however distant that may be, knew.

She finished her prayer, and stood up again. She left her secret cave, and looked upon the Holy Land. It was a beautiful sight, marred by the corruption of the Caliphate. The Caliphate that had spawned from the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, and taken the entire Middle East, while she had been forced by the restrictive United States Government to sit by and let it happen while they tried non-superhuman measures. And now, it was far too late. Far too established to do anything about. A poison, corrupting the cradle of civilization, and the Garden of Eden. It disgusted her.

Alice Prince’s ghost of a sister, her Celestial Warrior, she was the solution to the problem of the Caliphate. The solution that would come from Paradise to smite the false prophets that had established the Islamic State and liberate the Holy Lands... Or, on the off chance that the Jihadists had been in the right all along, lay waste to the nonbelievers who had resisted the rise of the Caliphate.

It was a depressing non-zero possibility.

There was a crack of thunder, and a flash of light in the sky, and an object appeared, falling from it.

“What the hell...” Karen muttered. “And of all the possible places, it had to be my special spot.”

She watched as the object fell to the Earth, and then teleported to the crater it made.

It was a man: tall, brown hair, blue eyes, handsome features, wearing a raggy t-shirt and jeans, and smoking slightly. He was still conscious somehow, and glanced upon Karen with a look of... Familiarity. He laughed. “Imagine, of all the places I could have ended up, I get one with you in it.” He bolted upright, with a speedster’s quickness, and grabbed Karen by the neck.

She teleported behind him and drew her blades. “Alright, asshole. You’re gonna have to try harder than that.”

He looked at his now empty hand, and chuckled. “No, you are not the Karen that I know...” He turned and faced Karen. “You have her face and speak with her voice, but you are not her. You are something so very much greater. Forgive my undue aggression.”

“Who the hell are you?”

He smiled. “What a question. Who, the Hell, am I? Who is a person, truly. Who are you? Are you Karen Reis?”

“I am. What does it matter?”

“So brusque, Karen. I might prefer mine after all.”

“Where are you from that there is another me, another Karen Reis?”

“Another world, Karen. Another universe. And if I’m honest, likely a much better, more fun one.”

Alice and Karen had once discussed Multiverse Theory, when they were younger, and closer. The idea that there were other universes where alternate versions of them might live. Alice had ruled out the possibility of travel between them, saying that creating a portal from one to another was impossible by mortal science or magic. So, if this man was speaking the truth, and had come from another universe, then Alice would very much like to speak to him.

“I assume we are on an Earth, of some manner?” he said.

“We are. You didn’t answer my first question.”

“Is there, in this universe, a man by the name of Jeremy Ryan, that you are aware of?”

“Not on my radar.”

“Well, now I am on your radar. Also, may I ask, is there a woman by the name of Roxanne Furst?”

“There was a Roxanne Prince, with a mother last named Furst. But she’s been dead almost...” Karen was reminded how old she was. “Eighty five years, now.” Alice’s dead twin sister. The Celestial Warrior. “A rare, hereditary lung cancer. She was 15.”

“So she did succumb to it, in this world.” Jeremy sighed. “A shame. This world is truly lacking of a Paragon. Where on this Earth are we?”

“The dead center of the Holy Caliphate of Mesopotamia, the Levant, and Arabia. 100 miles north of Baghdad.”

He examined the landscape around them, and the look of familiarity appeared again. “Eden...” Jeremy chuckled. “It was no coincidence that I have landed here, then. Your blink, can you carry others with you when you use it?”

“I can. I assume you want a ride?”

“If you would be so kind.”

“Got a destination in mind?”

“Anywhere.”

Karen held out her hand, and Jeremy took it. They teleported to her home, and she let his hand go so she could teleport to the bedroom and quickly change back into the civilian outfit she had worn earlier. She left her catsuit, mask, and swords on the floor. She teleported back to Jeremy. “Are you hungry?”

“Famished.”

“I know just where to take you.”

They teleported to New York City, Times Square, right next to Karen’s favourite pizza cart in the world.

“Evening, Tino.”

“You’ve got a date? I thought you were, uh...” Tino started.

“He’s just a friend, Tino. Wanted to get him one of your world famous slices. Sausage and ‘roni, for me, and...” she turned to Jeremy.

“As the buddhist said, ‘make me one with everything’,” Jeremy said, looking away from the massive skyscrapers above him. “How tall is that one?” he asked, pointing to the FurstTech building, the tallest tower he could see.

“2500 meters exactly. One of a set of Quadruplets, in New York, Detroit, Danesville, and San Francisco, all sharing the title of tallest in the world.”

He smiled. “The more things change, the more they stay the same. We’ve got one just like it at home. I helped build it, as did our Roxanne Furst. Your Roxanne died young, so who built this one?”

“Her brother David and her sister Alice built it in her memory. Do they exist in your world?” Tino handed over their slices, and Karen paid.

“They do. I never met her brother in person, but her sister and I have met many times. ”

“From what it sounds like, your version of Roxanne got to grow up. What was she like?”

“She is one of the greatest superhumans my world ever managed to forge from the fires of a bloody Revelation. Boundless strength and tenacity, matched only by myself in those regards, as well as a heart with more than enough room to love every creature on every Earth, and a mind with room to hold all their knowledge.”

“She sounds like a spectacular woman.”

“And you know that more than anybody, in my world. You and her are quite famously an item.”

“Are we? Now I wish I’d gotten to meet ours.”

“I’m sure you would have hit it off.” Jeremy continued watching the tower. “Who runs FurstTech now?” he asked after enjoying his pizza for a while.

“It was passed down to David’s daughter, Aradia, after he died. But, she’s not nearly as much a scientist as she is an occulist.” Karen watched a news ticker while she spoke, and smiled as it reported that a saudi businessman had been thrown from his penthouse less than an hour ago. Job well done.

“Aradia, you say?”

“You have one of her, too?”

“Could I meet her?”

“I suppose, if she isn’t busy.” Karen grabbed his hand again and blinked into the science lab lobby in the 300th floor, but not of the tower they had been examining, instead one if it's twins, in Danesville, WI. “Is Aradia in?” she asked the secretary.

“Miss Furst is in her workshop with her sister,” the secretary replied.

“Sister?” Jeremy wondered. “Ashley?”

“What?” Karen replied, perplexed. “No, Thrud.” She blinked them into the big workshop at the peak of the tower. In the middle of the room were two women, both of them middle aged in appearances. One of them, Aradia, was wearing ornate gold and black robes, holding her hands over the other and muttering incantations. The other, Thrud, was wearing robes, body armour, and a body suit covering her torso. Her limbs were long ago amputated, replaced with black and gold, but organic-looking, metal.

Without looking, Aradia snapped her finger and flicked her wrist, and a dense patchwork of runes was revealed on the floor. “Do you even understand the great evil you have brought into my sanctum?”

“What?” Karen replied. “Jeremy, what is she...” She looked to him for an answer, and she saw him straining against some invisible force. But, slowly, he was advancing.

“This is the greatest evil to have ever appeared in this realm, and you led him straight to me.”

“You are even more skilled in this universe, Aradia, and even more alike to your namesakes,” Jeremy said. “But you are no Sorcerer Supreme. You do not possess the strength to stop me alone.” As he slowly took steps forward, his eyes shimmered to a deep crimson red.

“I may not, but I know of the one who does.”

“You won't be able to summon her and hold me back at the same time.”

“If I slay you, I will have the requisite time.”

“But then you will release me upon the citizens of Danesville. And you're not that foolish.”

“There are risks and costs for every action. You do not know me well enough to balance mine in my stead.”

“What the FUCK are you guys talking about,” Karen interrupted. “What is going on? Aradia, what are you saying?”

“This ‘Man’ you have brought here is the Greatest Demon in this Multiverse. A wretched soul that craves no more than the sowing of Chaos and the suffering of the innocent. I present to you, Therion, The Beast From The Pit, The Seven Headed Dragon, The King of Demons.” Aradia’s voice boomed as she announced the full title of her guest.

“My reputation precedes me,” Jeremy said.

“Thrud, take him out.”

“With pleasure,” Thrud said, her voice heavily synthesized. She dashed forward, drawing a sword from literally nowhere, and holding it out so it would pass through Jeremy’s neck as she flashed past him.

He smiled, and laughed, and then his head slid cleanly to the floor, his body following closely after.

Aradia collapsed to her knees. “Archangel, Paragon of Light! Hear my calling! I am summoning you from beyond the void to return this evil to its proper place. Bless us with your strength, and deliver us from the Beast!”

The room reverberated with the sound of the plea, and a moment later a portal opened in the ceiling. Out of it fell a woman, who landed on one knee and with a fist slammed into the ground. She stood up, quickly, and yelled “Jeremy!” The portal slammed shut barely after Karen had even registered that it was there.

She was wearing a full-body blue super suit with silver streaks of lightning wrapping around it, knee-high black boots, a golden metallic backpack, and huge golden wrist gauntlets, with three meter-long golden spikes sticking out the elbow of each of them, parallel with the forearm. Her face was slender, her chin was pointed, her cheekbones were sharp, and her eyes were bright green. She was short, at 4’9”, and she had paper-white hair, in a short bob. She looked exactly like Alice, but 70 or 80 years younger.

She quickly approached the body of Jeremy, and flicked her wrists. The elbow spikes of the Gauntlets slid forward and became enormous claws, now protruding out the back of the wrist area instead of the elbow, with a loud snikt. She stuck his head with one set of claws, and raised it closer to her face. “I’ve been looking everywhere for you, you son of a bitch.” She impaled the torso with the other set of claws, and lifted it up off the ground. “Aradia, take me somewhere far away from people. I can’t risk the fight spilling out to populated areas.”

“I know just the place,” Aradia said.

“He’s already dead!” Karen interrupted. “What is there to fight?!”

Aradia opened a portal to a familiar desert, and the Archangel stepped up to the threshold, the body she carried beginning to writhe. “You don’t want to know.” She stepped through, and the portal closed.

Karen stood there, dumbfounded. Had that truly been Alice’s twin, the Celestial Warrior? She seemed so... Vulgar, human, nothing special. ‘You son of a bitch’? She was certainly no angel. But... Karen couldn’t let her get away. “Where did she go?” She asked Aradia.

“You know very well where,” she answered.

Karen blinked to her home, and hastily buckled her sword belt back on. She had a bad feeling she would need it.

She swallowed, crossed herself, and blinked back to Eden.

She appeared in the middle of the desert, and stumbled from the earth shaking. She slowly spun around, and was met with a terrifying sight.

A massive, red-scaled dragon, 200 meters long from tail to head. And concerning the head, it had seven of them, vaguely feline but lizard at the same time, at the end of seven snake-like necks, all sprouting from its crimson-maned shoulders. Distributed across the heads were ten horns, one on every one but the middle-most, which held the remaining four. It had two enormous wings, large enough to block out the sun, beating down, causing a dust storm with every motion. Its four massive legs, each as thick as a stand of redwoods, stomped on the desert sands, causing earthquakes. It roared with all its mouths, spitting napalm into the air.

Therion. The Beast from the Pit. The Seven Headed Dragon. The King of Demons.

The Celestial Warrior, the Archangel, stood with her back to Karen, bracing herself against the repulsive force of evil exuded by The Beast. “You wanted to know?” She yelled, without taking her eyes off The Beast. “Well, now you know! The greatest evil I have the displeasure of being my immortal enemy. Now get away from here, it isn’t safe for anybody to be within miles of this.”

“I want to help you!” Karen yelled back.

“No! I won't let him get to you again!” the Archangel outburst.

While she did, The Beast surrounded the two of them with it’s heads. “An interversal lover’s quarrel,” it growled, in Jeremy’s voice. “Poor little Karen, oblivious to how she makes the Paragon feel, ignorant to what they are in another world. She doesn’t know what she is to you, or what I did to her.”

“JEREMY! This ends now!” The Archangel leapt into the air and impaled one of the heads with her golden claws, and then slid around the neck and landed on The Beast’s shoulders, and started hacking away at it.

“Karen!” The Beast said, fighting off the Archangel with three of it’s heads, and focusing on Karen with the other four. “Come on, FIGHT ME! Share the glory!”

“Don’t listen to him!” The Archangel rebutted. “You’ll only get yourself killed!”

“I’m not weak!” Karen said in response. “I know how to fight!”

“YES!” The Beast cried. “Prove yourself! Prove that you are an equal of the Paragon! Slay me as she has done hundreds of times!” He wound his four heads focusing on Karen back, and pounced.

As four steam-engine-sized sets of jaws with razor-sharp teeth the size of tower shields rapidly approached her, Karen drew her swords. Right before they hit her, she teleported out of their way, they rammed into each other, and she chopped at The Beast’s necks.

The Beast laughed as the fight began in earnest. He darted his heads back and forth at lightning speed, far faster than a creature that large should be able to move. Karen blinked out of the way with ease, coming to and from the immediate area of the fight to recover when she required brief respite. The Archangel opted to tank the attacks, her suit showing the damage and bloodstains this approach incurred. Fortunately she healed at an incredibly rapid pace, even faster than Karen’s own healing factor.

Karen blinked away from the fight, and watched as The Beast grabbed one of The Archangel’s limbs, and threw her up into the air. She responded by firing a grappling hook, which she had been concealing in her gauntlets, back towards The Beast. It quickly retracted, propelling her claws-first into The Beast’s side.

The Beast recoiled as if he had been hit by a high-power howitzer round when The Archangel slammed into him. The Beast laughed as it stumbled.

Another of Aradia’s portals opened behind Karen. Before she could turn and look, she heard a familiar man’s gruff voice.

“Lo, behold the Angel of the World Tree,” Alice Prince’s father, and Aradia’s grandfather, Robert Prince said.

“And lo, behold her immortal foe,” Aradia said.

“And lo, behold Merlin and the Enchantress...” Karen muttered.

“And lo, behold!” Aradia said, coming to stand by Karen’s side. She was still wearing her gold and black robes.

“The woman who broke my daughter's heart,” Robert said, standing on Karen’s other side. He, too, was wearing ornate robes, his gold, blue, and brown. He was native american, Ho-Chunk specifically. Supposedly his great-grandfather was Welsh, providing the sliver of european ancestry required for his magic to work. He looked no older than Aradia was, but was obviously two full generations her elder. Karen assumed that for mystical folk immortality began whenever they reached peak regality, somewhere around 45.

“It was mutual,” Karen said, quietly, pointedly, and sadly.

“Hmm. Well then, let's put the past behind us.” Robert flicked his wrists and assumed a martial pose, and constrained bolts of multicolored energy condensed in his palms, writhing across his skin. Aradia did similarly, assuming a more dance-like pose than her grandfather. They strode forwards towards the battle in unison, and let loose their spells at The Beast.

“HAHA!” The Beast responded as one of his legs collapsed out from beneath him. “A family reunion!” One of his heads pounced at the duo of magicians, and the head was deflected by a quickly-summoned shield. Robert held the shield up, and Aradia fired an energy bolt at it.

The shield’s natural magic capacitance absorbed the energy, and when the shield was dissipated, the energy was released outwards at The Beast. The energy struck The Beast on one of his necks, and exploded the flesh, causing that head and half of the associated neck to drop away, dead.

The Archangel, covered in not only The Beast’s blood but also her own, landed roughly on her knees behind the magicians. She retracted her claws with a snikt.

She stood and stretched as her ravaged flesh regrew. Her bodysuit was barely there anymore, covering her chest only via a thin ribbon of fabric around one shoulder, the other shoulder having been sliced through and hanging free, revealing some of the flesh of her breast.

“Take a picture,” the Archangel said. “It'll last longer.”

Karen realized she had been staring at the half-revealed breast and her face went flush. “Oh, I... Uh...”

“You really are just like her.” The Archangel wiped some of the copious blood from the area around her mouth. “There’s something about Roxanne Furst that always trips the ‘bumbling’ switch in Karen Reis.”

“Roxanne. So you are Alice’s sister.”

“Technically. And please, call me Roxy. Now, this has been fun, but I think it’s about time I got Jeremy home.” She prodded at her gauntlet, and then spoke to it. “Groom Lake, I’ve got Therion at my location. Open the portal and prepare the Kingslayers, we’re coming in hot. My position Z-minus 1 meter, Radius... let’s say, 500 meters. T-minus 30 seconds. Me and Jay, plus one. Oh, and make it an airdrop.” She dropped her arm back to her side. “Aradia, Robert, you can head off now. I’d suggest looking into strengthening your Demon wards even further.”

Aradia summoned a portal back to FursTech headquarters. While Aradia quickly stepped back through it, Robert instead approached Roxy and gently cupped his daughter's face.

“I’ll talk to you later, Dad,” Roxy promised. “I have to deal with Jay first.”

Robert smirked, chuckled, and released her face, before dropping the shield and stepping through the portal. It closed behind him.

“I’d suggest bracing yourself,” Roxy said as soon as it did.

“What?” Karen asked.

The ground disappeared out from beneath them, revealing an expanse of sky where there should by all rights have been earth. Karen, Roxy, and the Beast dropped into the hole, stretching across the desert a kilometer wide.

The location they were in was alien to Karen, but strangely familiar to her at the same time. Three kilometers below them was a desert, sand and dirt stretching off in every direction. Nearby was a lake, and a fortified military base of some kind, every building ostentatiously build out of pure gold, it appeared. While the design was different from the one she knew, the relative locations of landmarks meant it could only be one place: Groom Lake, Nevada, AKA Area 51. Off in the distance, on the horizon, she saw the glittering of a gold-plated city. Again, based on the relative locations, it would have had to have been Las Vegas.

Roxy grabbed Karen by the collar of her shirt and jacket, and when the portal they had fallen through closed, stopped falling. Karen craned her neck to look up at Roxy, and saw the faint outline of wings emanating from her shoulders, and stretching hundreds of meters in either direction.

She is an angel, after all, Karen thought.

“Meet you at the bottom,” Roxy said, releasing Karen and letting her continue her fall.

Karen teleported towards the distant ground, landing on her feet at the peak of Bald Mountain, just to the north of Groom Lake.

Compared to the one she was familiar with, this Groom Lake region looked like it had been been dug up and redistributed, and hit with a couple million artillery impacts, or something of similar nature. It was a superhuman warzone, Karen realized, having seen many in her life. A battleground where powerful beings often opposed one another.

And now she was watching an instance of such a fight before her very eyes. She looked up and saw Roxy stretching her arms and shoulders, and saw the ethereal wings flutter and flap, and then, suddenly, she disappeared.

No, she hadn’t disappeared. Where she had previously been, there was now a stack of sonic vapor rings, pointing downwards towards the still-falling Beast. Below the rings, descending at a meteoric pace and surrounded by a vapor cone, was Roxy, claws pointed downwards.

Roxy intercepted the Beast in the air, and without slowing drove it into the Earth, creating an additional great crater with the impact.

A group of figures emerged from Groom Lake, flying with jet boots and packs the like Karen had seen many times before. The swarm of them flew around the Beast, with swords and guns of various types drawn.

Karen teleported closer, and watched the soldiers as they surrounded The Beast. Whenever the Beast struck out at one of them, they would strike back at him.

Roxy all the while was hacking away at the Beast, carving him ever smaller. After 15 more minutes, the Beast was lying limp, in thousands of pieces of various sizes, none larger than a car.

The largest piece started shrinking, and slowly reverted to the form of Jeremy, and Roxy quickly snatched it up and flew off towards Groom Lake with it.

Karen blinked after her. She flew into a massive excavated shaft in the center of the base, and down a few miles until they hit the bowels of the facility, a maze of corridors.

Karen had difficulty teleporting fast enough to follow Roxy’s angel wings’ speed, but was able to keep up until she flew into a cell and slammed a set of golden chains onto all of Jeremy's extremities, head and neck included.

Jeremy stirred to life after a moment. “Which number was this? 1305? It has to have been whereabouts of that.”

“Including the Fall of Babel, 1306,” Roxy answered.

“Ah, to think I almost forgot our first time.”

“I’ll never forget.”

“Don’t try to make what I do special by pretending you could do anything but remember every second of your long, miserable existence.”

“I’m not the one spending most of mine in a cage.”

Jeremy looked past Roxy and saw Karen. “Is that one yours, or the other one?”

“You know the difference. You haven’t had a chance to mutilate this one.”

“This one’s tougher than yours. You should trade up.”

Roxy visibly strained not to smack him so hard his neck snapped. “We’re done here.” Roxy flew out of the cell, and Karen followed her. Roxy shut the cell door, and then crushed the lock so the door would be unopenable by anyone else but her. “Let’s get you home,” she told Karen. She led her through the hallways, and into an elevator. The Elevator took them up to the near-surface, and opened into another hallway. That hallway led to a control room, filled with technicians.

When Karen entered the room, they all stopped and stared.

“Open a portal back to the Astraverse,” Roxy commanded. “This one doesn’t belong here.”

The technicians got to work, and a handful of seconds later the far wall of the room was replaced by a view out into the desert of Eden.

“Go on,” Roxy said to Karen.

Karen blinked to the threshold of the portal, and felt the warm desert breeze on her face. She stepped through the portal, and as she did she heard the door to the control room open. She looked back and saw...

Herself, except, not. She had the same short black hair, and the same heterochromatic eyes: grey-blue in the left and grey-green in the right. But aside from that, they couldn’t have been more different. Her left arm was gone, replaced by an advanced magitech prosthesis, as were both of her legs. Her face was covered in small, faded scars, excepting the two on her cheeks, which visibly stretched from the corners of her lips to her ears. On her throat was another large faded scar, across the left jugular vein. Though she was wearing a tight t-shirt, more scars on her chest peeked across the neckline. The arm that was still flesh and blood had scars up and down it, with a tightly packed row of them on the wrist under all the rest.

Karen stared at herself, and the other her stared back, until the portal closed and separated them.

Karen stood in the Iraqi desert for a long moment.

She blinked to her home, the edge of her bed. She stumbled back into it, and slumped onto it. After a while she brought her right arm up to be examined. Her skin was superhumanly flawless, but if she was still capable of scarring, her wrists would be just as crisscrossed as the other hers’ had been.

That was the only evidence that Karen needed to be convinced that the other one really was her. Karen Reis, at her core, was a depressive girl who cut herself when she was low. No amount of degrees of Multiversal separation would change that.

Karen’s mind raced, reflecting over what she’d seen today.

How to Get More Results Out of Your northeastern university sat

youtube

Study abroad experience can have a deep effect on the individual: by transforming one's career route and social circles to enhancing global engagement.

Students from Africa, for several decades, have been at the pursuit of high-quality education provided all over the world. Motivated by strong aspirations and livelihood opportunities, the African students are looking past what their home country can provide.

Study abroad experience can have a deep effect on the individual: from changing one's career route and social circles to improving international engagement. A recent study conducted at the University of Minnesota has demonstrated that international students become civically involved and, regardless of the expectations, are somewhat likely to return to their home states.

Why Does African American Students Seek Education Abroad?

Based upon the character of a person and their career objectives, international students from Africa can study in prestigious African universities or venture to proceed further and travel to the USA, Canada, UK, Germany, Ireland, Turkey, Dubai or a number of different destinations in Europe or Asia.

In the last decade, South Africa has witnessed that the second biggest number of pupils from Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Libya, and other African countries.

Below is a brief summary of the admission statistics published in 2018.

What motivates African American Study abroad students?

As the following chart reflects, pupils from the area are strongly motivated by career ambitions and the possibility of improved livelihood opportunities. The responses reflected in the chart are for potential undergraduate students, but the same patterns hold for master's and PhD students too.

Almost three in four respondents imply that progressing to a higher degree qualification is a significant factor in their interest in pursuing an undergraduate degree abroad. Nearly half see a overseas undergraduate degree as a method of advancing into their current career path, and a comparable proportion see a foreign diploma as a requirement to enter their intended career. At length, nearly a third (29 percent ) see study abroad as a way of enhancing their career prospects.

The chart illustrates clearly how weighted the poll answer is to those factors, relative to personal or cultural motivators for example chances for exchange or personal interest.

Where to study abroad?

According to the latest QS Applicant Survey, the US and Canada are the top destinations for African American students to proceed with their studies. Approximately 36% of pupils refer going to colleges at both the US and Canada for undergraduate and master courses.

China is yet another popular destination that has witnessed a stride at the circulation of African students to their top universities. The number of students from Africa took a whopping spike of 95,000 in 2014, and the nation has since pledged 30,000 more scholarships to promote more mobility from Africa. France has also been attracting students from French-speaking countries like Algeria and Cameroon.

The reasons for pupils from Africa to choose these countries is highly influenced by the standard of education and over all of the Financial Aid. Many universities in Europe also need very less or no tuition prices.

Study in USA

The investment at a diploma from a US institution was viewed positively by international employers for decades. The breadth of the program encourages students to explore topics far beyond their major. This gives a broader understanding of the world and a much more open view.

Such skills and approaches are much valued by employers and have also developed a strong entrepreneurial spirit among US graduates. The rapid development of Silicon Valley in California is just one particularly shining example of the benefits of a US Higher Education. Study in the USA and follow your own American dream.

Canada offers a unique opportunity to study completely in English, entirely in French or onto a bilingual program. Having a population of approximately 10 percent of its southern neighbor, the USA, Canada has plenty of space. Because of this, there are clear pathways to immigration post-study.

These points have made Canada an increasingly popular destination for research among international students in general. Approximately 20 percent of the Canadian people speak French as their native language. English, in 56%, is undoubtedly the predominant language across the nation. It is important to remember if you are from a French-speaking country.

Study Abroad agencies mainly operate with institutions in the English-speaking part of Canada. This is because we consider proficiency in English is an essential skill for the globally mobile workforce. If your plan is to work in Canada after graduation a strong knowledge of English will be essential. But for those who do like to research from French, Seed can provide extremely affordable options also.

At all levels that the British schooling system has an excellent global reputation for academic achievement. The UK is home to some of the most famous schools, universities and colleges on the planet.

It is the achievements of pupils of the UK higher education system that generated the country's academic standing.

Germany is the economic powerhouse of Europe with the continent's biggest economy. The earliest research universities on the planet have been in Germany and several are still open now.

The United Nations Development Programme puts Germany as 6th about the Human Development Index. This is forward of popular study abroad destinations that the USA, United Kingdom, and Canada.

The German Government reports that there are approximately 375,000 international students registered at college there. That's over 12% of the total amount of college students in the country. Around 18,000 African pupils, each year choose Germany for university abroad.

The German education system is especially strong in the STEM Topics -- Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. No surprise as the country is home to famous engineering and manufacturing brands. STEM subjects are popular class choices with African American study abroad students.

Study in Turkey

Turkey is not only a beautiful destination for travellers but also attractive to a lot of international students. Research in Turkey can be relatively cheap in comparison with many other nations abroad. There has been enormous investment in universities there in recent years. As a result, Turkish colleges offer high quality education and top-of-the-range centers, but in a really reasonable rate, to equip their students with the necessary knowledge and skills needed to excel in the professional world.

Public universities mostly offer applications delivered entirely in Turkish, even though it is also likely to locate some bilingual (Turkish and English ) applications as well as some applications delivered in French at select institutions. There are not any programs taught completely in English in public colleges and so any African American student seeking to study in public universities will need to study the Turkish language first and successfully pass the Tomer Exam (the Turkish equivalent to the TOEFL Assessment ).

We will mainly focus our attention on private universities in this manual as we can strongly believe in the worldwide work opportunities which will be offered to you if you study in English.

Dubai is located in one of the seven United Arab Emirates and is currently home to specialists from all around the world. Dubai has a famously fast-growing market and is known for innovation. Obviously, the luxury shopping experiences make it a dream destination for many foreign students.

Ireland is a European country famous for its civilization the world over. It's admittedly a known study destination for African American pupils than its close neighbour, the United Kingdom. However, as we hope to show in this guide, there are tons of good reasons to think about Ireland to your studies.

The Irish people are proud of their culture and thus work hard to maintain it. Ireland is an Anglophone country that makes it appealing for both African American students who already speak English and those who wish to enhance theirs. Ireland is home to students from other parts of the planet too. The Majority of the students that study in Ireland come from the European Union, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and North America.

Ireland has a younger population than most Western European nations and also a highly educated people. The country is often known as the Celtic Tiger because of its strong financial performance during the previous 30 decades.

Ireland includes a pioneering and can-do spirit. Irish experience in agriculture has helped turn arid lands in Africa into abundant farming. As well as an upstart Irish airline business, Ryanair, revolutionised air travel within Europe, becoming the largest European airline concerning passenger numbers pre-COVID.

Unlike the UK, Ireland is a part of the European Union (even though it is not a part of the Schengen visa zone). In the past several years, thanks to its highly trained workforce, Ireland has attracted multinationals, such as Amazon and Microsoft, to set up European HQs here. Since 1st February 2020 it's the largest Anglophone state within the European Union, which will be likely to make it an attractive foundation for additional foreign companies seeking to install hubs within the European Union's Single Market.

Ireland is a very safe and beautiful country with fantastic areas to go to.

African Students in the U.S.

Nownot all of those students listed above are visiting the U.S., of course, next week we'll discuss more about where else these students may be studying and how to contend with another destinations African students are considering and picking.

Source Country

Students Studying in the Usa

Nigeria

12,693

Egypt

3,701

Kenya

3,322

Ghana

3,213

Ethiopia

2,118

South Africa

2,040

Morocco

1,563

Nigeria leading the bunch is no surprise, as it has the highest GDP of all African economies, and consequently has more students that can afford a U.S. education. The remainder of the list all have savings in the Top 8 across the continent, except for Ghana, which isn't far behind at 11th.

While the other 47 nations in Africa are not listed above, almost all of them are sending pupils to the U.S. and other nations for tertiary schooling.

It may seem, by looking at the above list, that Nigeria is the crystal clear place to invest your recruiting efforts. But keep in mind, with higher student numbers comes more competition from other universities abroad.

Do not ignore the remaining nations with fewer students already traveling into the U.S., as those may be untapped markets which would give you more bang to your recruitment dollar. As we said in a prior blog article about Africa, the less traveled path represents the competitive path. Consider how nice it would be to be among the top-ranked universities in a college fair.

According to the 2018 report by IIE only 4% of overseas students in the U.S. were from sub-Saharan African countries. (The statistics for those from northern African nations is united with those from the Middle East, which account for two percent.)

African students bring an invaluable perspective and drive to campus, says WENR in this slightly older article.

Tourism and healthcare are also on the rise.

If your institution has a strong program in these areas, there are some frequent flyer miles to be got and pupils to be recruited.

Can they afford it, however?

Now, while the language barrier may not be a substantial challenge, a monetary one definitely is. The price for one year at an American school greatly surpasses the average yearly household income for many African American nations.

What incentive is there for universities to supply larger financial aid packages to those international students? Word of mouth for you personally. Bear in mind that college-aged population thrive? That is a lot of mouths and the following generations will probably be learning about schooling choices from people who went before them.

WES predicts that,"Given the price of successful recruitment efforts and the need to set up both recruiters and dollars , such networks of alumni can provide an abundance of rewards with comparatively few dangers."

Requirements to Study Abroad

The needs to study abroad for many international students would depend on the country, the college, and also the program. But, there's a typical set of files required to apply to all universities.

Transcripts from Schools

Recommendation Letters

Statement of Purpose

For Undergraduate applications, students would have to pass the standard global entrance exams like SAT depending on the country you are applying to. The African American matric qualification alone might not qualify one to the required level.

For postgraduate programs, you would need completion of diploma certification and would be required to compose the country and course-specific entrance exams.

The minimum standard requirements for Faculties will vary across the countries. Also depending upon the medium of instruction, students might need to take speech tests to demonstrate the level of proficiency.

Aside from this, to get a student loan, you would also need to reveal Confirmation of registration, proof of sufficient funds and meet the health insurance requirements.

Writing a comprehensive admission essay or personal statement puzzles many foreign applicants. The vast majority of non-native English applicants do not feel certain about their program papers. That's why many of them utilize this platform to order informative article online:

Each of the countries mentioned above are focusing on widening their educational prospects by enticing more international students. As a part of this, many scholarships are provided by the many organizations to encourage pupils. Here are a few notables ones for pupils from Africa.

Mastercard Foundation Scholarship: Canadian and American Universities have partnered up the Mastercard to northeastern university registrar offer you a $500 million initiative to provide scholarships for 15,000 pupils, especially from Africa. The University of Toronto, McGill University, the University of British Columbia are one of the top colleges offering the scholarship programs.

Australian Development Scholarships (ADS) for African American Students: An initiative by the Australian Government to provide fellowships and financial help for 1,000 postgraduate students from Africa.

The Beijing Government Scholarship (BGS): Offered from the Beijing Municipal Government that supplies a partial or full tuition fee for international students studying in Beijing.

French Government (Eiffel Excellence) Masters and Ph.D.. Scholarships: Scholarships of Masters and Ph.D. students from developing nations majoring in engineering, science, economics, law, and science.

VLIR-UOS Training Scholarships in Belgium: Offered for students from African countries with preference given to girls who take available master and training programs in English.

English Language Proficiency

Students will have to give proof they've achieved a particular level of English language proficiency.

These will be the commonly accepted evaluations.

IELTS Academic Module

TOEFL

University of Cambridge Advanced

These tests must be obtained no less than two years prior to commencing the course.

The majority of African pupils prefer to choose a degree in technology or business studies. In European nations especially languages, art, and human sciences are also popular topics followed by law enforcement and political science.

Students from African nations are wanting to move overseas to countries that offer them better standards of living. The ability to stay in the country after completing the course is also becoming a significant deciding factor. But it is also common for pupils to be back their experience to their home states and contribute to strengthening their economy.

Every country has something to offer, and it is ideal to pick the course based on individual and academic tastes.

Information sources and financing for Study Abroad

Nearly six in ten potential students look to schooling agents for help in identifying and exploring alternatives for study abroad. But the QS survey clearly indicates that most students make heavy use of online channels too, especially organic research, institutional sites, school selection sites, and social media. Between 80% and 100 percent of survey respondents stated they make extensive use of all these online tools.

The other striking aspect of pupil mobility from the area is that the prominent role played by third party funders, particularly in the form of government or corporate scholarships. As the following picture reflects, private or family financing plays a lesser role for many students from the area.

The standing of financing sources exemplified here reflects the prominent part of third party funders (and also the importance of affordability factors) that we have observed elsewhere to key markets in the area, notably Nigeria, Kenya, and Ghana.

The broker recruitment station is still developing in Africa. They're determined and keen to sign up new contracts -- unlike many of the colleagues in China and India who've become exceptionally discerning about which universities they will support. We've fulfilled a number of agents from African nations in the ICEF Miami workshop and highly suggest this opportunity to meet and evaluate the options.

Contrary to the recruiting agent systems in China and India that are highly developed and have matured into a challenging network of super bureaus with many unstructured (and often uncontrollable) sub-agents, there are opportunities to create valuable relationships with lots of the agencies which are growing in Africa. This recruitment station is a site topic all of its own and we will share it at a future blog post this season.
