Many come to the United States believing that they will find new dreams and new hopes for the future.
Some flee from their countries to accomplish such belief risking all the possession they have.
Some do not care about such belief but come and live new and wonderful experiences
that will enrich their lives. Their desire is to share those experiences with others in their
homeland. With an optimistic outlook, they land in the United States with their baggage in hands and bright
shinning eyes, smiling and enthusiastic. Yet many hope for dreams and hopes, they do not know what
they face ahead in the land where broken dreams exist...
I am talking about not having enough money for college. While international
students do not receive financial aid, there are new laws being created to
raise their college tuition. Why is the US government doing that?
Are those students the one to blame for the economy?
Are they the one to blame for the decreased amount of jobs that are
available to many permanent or US citizens? The answer is "NO!" These barriers are
causing hindrance to many international students. Their dreams and hopes fade little
by little as the financial burden keeps increasing. Many of these students find no
solution but just attend an affordable and cheap college or university while other
students, who are not international students and not even as talented, go to better
schools or even attend school for FREE! That is not "Equal Opportunity"... "Hey," some say, "it
is better than no school at all, right?" Well, this is another issue. By rejecting international students
financial help and even looking at our college applications as the last package for admission,
their opportunity for admission lessens for even a cheap and excellent college
or university. Their self-esteem drops and instances of hurt appear very often in whatever
they want to accomplish...
Hey, should we let these burdens and hindrance take the best of us??? No! Here is your chance.
I know many of you, international students are talented and have a lot to say about yourself or are
very artistic. If you can contribute anything to my site, please go ahead, especially in the members' talents section. Come on, share your
thoughts (personal stories will be great), drawings and whatever you have. I had enough of the stupid laws and restrictions on us. I even created a web site
before this one with all my thoughts and you can even feel how I was feeling at that time. I named
it Welcome Home. At that time,
I felt I was the only one with college problems. I have to say that it was very selfish of me to think that
way. This
is why I created this site, just for all of you! Come on and surf through my web site. Hey, don't forget
to get your free membership. Let's tell the whole world that we are not ALONE!
