The Pressure of being an Asian Student

Our Accounting class had an exam on Monday, and we are getting the grades today, on Wednesday. Since I have done Accounting once before, I know the general idea of what is going on in the class. However, I am not as studious as I should be (as an Asian student). I read the textbook the day before the test just because I need to read it. For sure, I will lose a lot of points if I don't read the textbook, and I am so not going to let it happen.

The Starting Point as an International Student at Randolph

Come to think about it! I have been here in the United States for more than a year. The story of my arriving to US was so simple. I didn't want to attend Institute of Medicine in my country. I know that a doctor is a noble and prestigious job. There is only one big problem. I was not interested in medical field. Simply, I wanted to be a businesswoman. I liked to picture myself in a suit and heels (although I have never worn heels yet), walking around the office, supervising the employees. I just loved that ME, which I pictured again and again while daydreaming.
