One more example that America is a dream country where everything is possible for those who work hard. They will be noticed and doors shall be opened. It's not that easy, for sure, but everything is possible. I had crossroads at my lifetime decision with my studies and career path afterwards. Scholarship was not a problem, it’s just I aimed very high after opening new alternatives were I can study, after visiting this page . My decision was risky but everything went well. If interested I can share that story. It will take some time or I can write just important details that matter most.
