When you least expected...

On January 14, 2007 I had found myself close to desperation not knowing what to do. I came back from Romania - the semester had started and I failed to register for classes and to begin the spring semester, and all of a sudden I begun to have a real positive attitude full of faith. It was the attitude of what-will-God-put-before-me is what-I'll-be-thankful-for.

I felt that there was a great opportunity coming my way, really soon. And what have you, only a few days later on January 18 the opportunity I was feeling to come soon had miraculously come up. Mrs. Diana Erney, who at the time was my international student adviser, called me up and told me Dr. Ileana Smith, Campus Director, really wanted me to graduate and awarded me the Campus Director Scholarship.

Mrs. Erney had contributed so much to all this, she even spoke with Dr. Stephanie Smith, Dean of Instruction (at the time) about me and they all united their powers and reached out and saved me from falling down. Thank you.

Experience while growing up

On the right track-

The right path, in my vision, is the road with happiness. Steven Covey in The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, says that ”happiness can be defined, in part at least as the fruit of the desire and ability to sacrifice what we want now for what we want eventually.”

It was around 1999 when my brother’s friend, Ovidiu Coarda, and I met. It's been with Ovidiu Coarda’s help and guidance that I succeed today.

He emphatically advises when it looks like I may be doing something wrong. And, let me tell you something, Ovidiu is one of my best friends, to this day. His principled way of life inflicts my own in such a miraculous way that I become a totally changed person. I am happy to call him one of my best friends. I appreciate him as much as I appreciate my own parents, my brother, my mentors, professors, colleagues, and every single one of my friends.
