It is hard to find the reason why I came to the U.S. exactly; I believe that I came here by someone’s leading. As a religious person, I think God leads me because it was not easy to come to the U.S. by myself.
I have been here for three years, and I learned and experienced many things that I could not have in my country. My point to see my life and the world has changed, and it keeps changing which I’ve never had before. Obviously, my life goal has changed.
I wanted to be an engineer who develops tourism areas, builds resorts, and facilities. However, coming to the U.S. was my turning point. Now I am pursuing to be a dentist. Why do I want to be a dentist? Main reason is to go other countries for helping poor people and let them know God. Just like a religious missionary, I want to go see people who never meet God. I really want my medical skill to help to lighten them because it could be a great merit to get people’s attention, and many of them are incapable of seeing doctors. Proverbs in the bible says that “In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps”.
Another reason is that there is a limit for me, who am an international student. The U.S. government does not give lots of opportunities to aliens. Aliens are hard to get higher level of American society.
I am in the last semester in LaGuardia, and going to Hunter next semester to major in Biology. Honestly, I have not put my entire endeavor in LaGuardia. However, I know that I have to study hard more than ever before when I transfer to Hunter. I do not want to miss this which might be the last chance. Later, I would like to go Stony Brook to complete general dentistry after two years in Hunter College.
I do believe that God leads my way. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I won’t fear because God is with me, and he comforts me. He will make a way for me.
