Hello everyone,
My name is Andrew and I am from Poland (Europe).
My biggest dream is to move to San Jose CA, because I have similar problem as MJ. I need warm place to live, and I need sun. I do not like winters in my country when everything is frozen and there is no sun. So it is my main goal - I need visa to USA and I figured it out I can get it in 3 ways:
- I can get green card in visa lotery - which I participated, but results will be known in May 2012
- I have to get to Stanford MBA studies - to get students visa
- I have to have 1 million of dollars - to get investors visa
For sure I will get visa somehow, because I want to be part of Silicon Valley. I am computer science hothead, and I have big willingness to make millions in IT industry, and I know I am enough talented to make that dream live.
But at the beggining I want to tell my little story:
My young part of life was not always good. I think maybe because of the weather. I hated school, teachers always was saying: I am smart but lazy. But always my intuition was saying me: I will be rich, and my life will be very different, and that I will drive Lambo some day, not only look at that in the movies, like others. But that was only feeling all the time, I didn't do much to get that dream. When I was 17 I started partying, very much. My brain was toxicated very often by that time.
Because of that at 20 I didn't get to the best CS (because I didn't mentioned - when I was 14 I fell in love in computers) school in my town which is Poznan University of Technology. I went to some worse collage, which didn't teach me much. I wasn't interested in getting knowledge. I wanted only diploma, because I thought I will have good job with good salary thanks to that. I didn't know what I want to do in life. I get job where I was "working" from 7am to 3pm, but I was working for 20 minutes every 3 days max. I had my office, big palm there which obscured me when I was slepping and when someone get in to the office didn't see that. Remaining time I was in the internet and search for women… After dates I was with my best friends and I was intoxicated all evening everyday. That was my sad life.
I thought I lost my life, I ended some crappy school, I have boring job, every day I am on drugs, and searching for happiness in ladies beds… I didn't want live any more.
But in some easter day I found myself in the church somehow, where I wasn't for many many years. I realized my life is full of sins, thats why I'm unhappy. And promised to God my life will be based on Bible and 10 commandments, because I realized that is only way to achieve happiness.
And fortunately in some evening, when I was sitting with my mates in the fumes of weed (because in that early days I thought weed is not a bad thing) I realized that is not the end of my life, I am 25 and I have all my life before me, I can do whatever I want. I promised to myself I will go to bed only with my future wife. Immediately I sold everything, and snatched the whole full of drugs environment, and went to London with intention to work for 6 months, save as much money as I can, get back, and go to my dreamed University. And I did that. First days I was working on car wash for 11 hours a day, when I didn't have time even for food. Non-stop cars. Next I get better paid job in big fridge where I was packing fishes for 12 hours a day, after wchich I went to gym and trained almost everyday, because I am passionate bodybuilder too, and I couldnt live without trainings. But after some time I get job, where I was mounting high end car-audio stuff which is my passion. There was the place, where I was siitting in Ferrari for the first time. That was good job because owner of that firm was simply the angel. Very good man, and it was pleasure to work for him.
