[ May of 2006: Omar Btoosh doing a speech during the graduation ceremony of the 5th batch in Latin Patriarchate High School\ Wassieh]
Omar is a second year medical student in Mu’tah University. He has no courses in this summer semester. He invested the months of summer to register in a company that gave him the chance to ‘travel and work’ in the USA. Actually, the name of this company\agency is Work and Travel. The name fits it 100%!
Gaith Adaileh, another friend of ours, told me that Omar works as a Cashier. He receives 10$ an hour. How profitable is working in the USA! No matter how much money he will generate, will he dramatically improve his English? Sure he will! We are talking about 3 months of living in an English-speaking country!
Omar is not the only one who participated in this job. His brother and 2 other students accompanied him. What is the chance that either of them will refuse to come back to Jordan? Will a Jordanian university student forgot about attaining a university degree in Jordan in return for living in the USA? What do you think? Will any one of them stick in the USA? It is a hard idea!
Good luck dear Omar! Wishing you to improve your English to a degree that you will find it so much easier to study Medicine in English!
