Can someone pllease translate this into Igbo for me?

I am a health insurance associate for a large corporation. I am also earning another degree-- this time in economics/international studies. Not quite sure what I want to do with it but something exciting; I like both studies and the University assists with job placement. Teaching is my alternative plan. I love children--well, obedient children. I like it here and money is ok but I feel like there is so much more to do.


Thanks in advance
