While some are having fairly smooth sail, others crash along the line. The thought of it creates a ‘deep breathe’ in many upcoming student artists; who aspire to reach this enviable height. It is against this backdrop, this paper explores the ‘adventure’ to this academic feat; drawing an analogy from inspirations in order to allay the fear of readers about this ‘Dream Land’. The paper prepares the minds of the readers towards expectations on the ladder to this academic peak.
