        When you walk in the school, you have probably seen many international students. Actually, there are so many international students in America. According to the statistic, in between 2011-2012, there were about 764 thousand international students in America. You might think what their purposes of studying abroad to America are. Some people would come to here to establish their great career. Some people might come to here to make their dream come true. A few people might come here for just for fun. I came here to make my dream come true.  Our class mate, Sum and Habib came here to play soccer. I interviewed one of international student, who is our classmate. The parson is Tim, who is Korean, and I am here today to introduce about Tim. He has come here to study abroad with some reasons, and his choice of studying abroad in America helps establishing his great career.

        Let’s talk about why he came here first. He was born in South Korea, and now he will turn 23 years old. He was going to enter a college in South Korea. As same as Japan, it is really hard to be accepted to enter the colleges or universities in Korea, so he studied really hard to go to the colleges. However, he failed getting accepted in the college. Even though he wanted to try one more time to get into the college, his father tried to make him to get into college in America. Therefore, he decided to study abroad in America. It is not for all Asian, but it is kind of Asian culture. Parents often try to force children to do something parents want. So, at first, he was unwilling to come to America. However, this choice going to America for studying abroad is making him reach to his dreams.

        He has two dreams which he is having getting trouble which career he will choose, and America is a great place to make his dream come true. One of his dream is to be any types of doctor. Then he has chosen to become a physical therapist. His father is a doctor who has own hospital in Korea, and his mother is a nurse. He has been watching his parents working, and he has admired his parents who helped lots of people. He was influenced by his great parents and has this dream now. The other dream is to participate in professional sports. He really loves playing soccer and has been playing soccer since he was 10 years old. He wanted to be a professional soccer player, but one day he noticed his limit of his ability of playing soccer. However, he still love soccer and cannot give up to participate in sports, especially soccer. Even though he has the dream to become a physical therapist, he also wants to participate in professional sports. That is why he has trouble deciding his career.
