I had been a practicing physician and surgeon before I moved to US in 1995 as a single parent of 3 and 6 year olds who are now 29 and 32 and have their MD and PharmD. I value education because that was the only thing that saved me in a foreign country when I started a new life from scratch. I feel education gives you options and opens doors. In the past 26 years I have done research at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, I have done echocardiography at Good Sam Hospital in Dayton, Ohio and have taught Human Anatomy and Physiology at four year universities, WSU (8 years) and Wittenberg University (1 year) and two year college Clark State College (15 years). Most of my students were nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, ultrasonography, biomedical engineering and PharmD and PhD students from two or four year colleges. I always tell my students "you HAVE to know the normal to figure out the abnormal!" Also I tell my students four things to remember "Dream, Plan, Act, Believe." With hard work and determination anything is possible! Good luck you can do this!!
