Don’t most people know how life as a student is going to be once you get here? I know people who came here knowing they would have to support themselves. They knew they couldn’t ask their parents for any financial help and they knew they would have to live up to their parent’s expectations. They study hard, maintain their gpa and because of that they get some help from the universities. They don’t waste one day’s hard earned money by “steaming it off” in one night with their friends. They don’t waste their money on unnecessary things, such as cigarettes and alcohol. Granted not everyone’s situation is the same. A person has to do what he as to do to make it work. If you want to marry a citizen to make your life a little better go ahead and marry him/her. But don’t sit there and lie to yourself by saying you had no choice; you had to marry him/her. There are always choices. Don’t do anything that will shame you in your own eyes in the future. You have to be able to live with your decisions and their consequences. Only you can understand your circumstances and you knew you had to do what you had to do. I apologize if this offends some, but I am just saying as I see it.
