I joined Three Rivers Community college soon after I graduated from high school. By this time, I have already been assimilated to the American culture. It seemed everything was going as I plannedit. However, I received a bad news from Ethiopia that my mom died of in a car accident. I have lost the most important person in my life. I was devastated. I had a mission from my mom to graduate from college with recognition. I had imagined her to be at my graduation while I was walking the aisle to receive my diploma. I had imagined her face to shine with pride. I found comfort in knowing that she was always with me in sprit. She would want me to realize her dream for me to become a doctor.
