Graduation Speech: Moving To The United States

Decent Essays
Haven’t seen you for a while, but based on your saying in the mail, everything looks fine.
It seems to me that this year is a year of “Changing”, e.g. I left the US, Kayly is graduated, and Alex has switched the lab. What a big change to everyone in the lab!

For the move to Singapore, I won’t say it’s a bad decision, even I am busy all the time. To be fair, I really like the life in the US, since I meet lots of people there, like you, Charlie, Kayly, Alex, and David. However, about my career, I haven’t built up a good score there. For the mentor here, I feel like we have the same concept in science, and that’s nice to me.

    Good Afternoon, Ladies and Gentlemen. When Ann Badmus contacted me to ask whether I’d be willing to speak at this year’s Immigrant Journey Awards luncheon I accepted immediately because her husband and I shared a common past. We were both graduate students at the University of Delaware starting a journey that is taken by many immigrants following the path of higher education to a better future. At that time, though, I did not know that I would be staying on in the U.S. – my goal was to get a doctorate and then return to India armed with the latest knowledge in my chosen area. I thought this was going to be an easy task – I’d talk about myself, my journey from graduate student to president of one of the largest universities in Texas and arguably…

It was late in the afternoon, roughly five o’clock; my great-grandfather came home from work, as a surgeon, with some frightening news.…
