    Brady Cobin Law Group "Expect the Unexpected" Scholarship
    This essay about simple polish girl who dreamed her all childhood about moving to the “biggest” city in the world full of opportunities. I’m currently 37 years old and I live in NYC for 18 years now.I came to this country all by myself at age of 19, without knowing English, with $50 in my pocket and suitcase of clothes. I started from zero. I have faced million of obstacles and the fact that I didn’t have anyone I definitely learn so much about life and people just after facing each obstacle. Currently I’m dental hygienist with salary over $100K a year and still studying at Capella University to one day become the CEO/CFO of hospital and provide the best health care to people in need. I myself shortly after arriving to United States faced health problems. When I was diagnosed with DVT( deep vain thrombosis) my life completely changed. It was a nightmare to stay at hospital full of doctors and nurses talking to in language I didn’t understand at all at that time. Explaining me in best possible ways what is going on. I was devastated and thought my life is going to end. However after 4 years I overcome my condition and feeling great today. I decided to go to healthcare to help people in need. Our country is made of immigrants and different cultures and languages. I want to provide equal healthcare to each individual no matter what is there race, language, poor or rich. I want everyone to be able to get best care. Even as a poor girl and new to the country I was so lucky to receive best care, however not everyone is so lucky and get the experience I got. Today I decided to do my best and thrive for success to be able to help others. I have learnt throughout my difficult but almost the most beautiful years living in United States that HEALTH is the real WEALTH
