After long years of waiting, tears, blood, sweat from doing projects, research papers and exams, at last, I will be graduating next year at the University of Oxford. The long years of my stay in the university had not been so good since I am from different country. I am a native Afghan who dreamed of becoming a successful architect someday. To tell you honestly, my studies were not supported by my parents. A good samaritan in the persona of my paternal uncle offered to help me and my sister for our education since he had no family. He was so busy managing the family's business based in America to think of building his own family. In someway, I feel pity for him because he was deprived of happiness for his own since their father appointed him as the manager of the family's business. My father was so a stubborn and happy-go-lucky then that's why my grandfather didn't trusted him the business and so we ended up as beggars, just always seeking help from relatives who are living luxuriously.

 

Since I set my foot on the ground of the university I belong to now, I had always been so anxious that I might get kicked out easily since the standards here is so high. I, myself, never thought of being able to study and mingle with many of the richest people in the world. Of course, I am studying in Harvard so almost all students here are rich except from me, maybe. All the facilities in school are high class. The tables and chairs, you can mostly see in high-end movies. Parking lots are as huge as concert halls and arenas. Most of students look and are really intelligent. The whole University, actually, for me is like a perfect world all people are wishing for. When you are inside, you can never ask for more because it is just so damn perfect.

 

I am so excited to get my diploma and tell the whole world that I am a graduate of University of Oxford. I am so excited to the world waiting for me after I graduate in this University.
