Hi I just wanna tell you guys my story. I was a medical technologist sa pinas fresh graduate. I applied for a student visa then I was denied once. I immediately reapplied addressing the issues na minention ng visa officer. After 14 days i got my visa. Pagdating ko sa Canada ako lang magisa. I only had 1400 dollars in my pocket nothing else. My tuition was fully paid at that time. I was looking for med tech jobs or any jobs related but I was unlucky because they were looking for canadian experience.
I decided to swallow my pride and work as a janitor while studying biotechnology. I found a place to stay which is with Filipinos. After 3 months i got a job as a waiter. But i had to buy clothes kaso wala ako pera. I went to a second hand store para bumili ng sapatos at long sleeves. I started working as a waiter and my boss liked my job and made me permanent. I was working until 3 am in the morning hanggang bago ako pumasok kase i only work a few days a week because of the limit. Then I quit the job after a 2 months because my schedule cHanged. I got a job near the university but this time i worked as a produce guy. Start ako 6 am ng umaga then pasok ako sa skul.
After a year of university I was awarded as a president's list student, I was able to maintain my grades to a perfect GPA. The award opened doors for me as I got a job inside the university as a lab assistant. Then on my 5th semester as I still had a perfect GPA I landed the top spot for internship. Which is with a vaccine company (sanofi pasteur) doing biochemistry research. After a year of internship. They've been offering me a permanent position In research and development. Right now, I'm working on the HIV Vaccine that is being tested on South Africa.
The purpose of why I told this it to tell you that all the pain and suffering are worth it. Ilang beses ako muntikan sumuko, I'm glad I didn't. I hope you don't give up your dreams as they do come true.
