My Sad Story - Breaking Shackles

<p>Ok. I admit I chose a dramatic title so that I could attract you here. But now I'd like you to help me out.</p>

<p>I live in Pakistan. My family is well-educated and my father has a reputation of being very studious/adroit. He was very successful in his days. Despite that we make little money according to the US standards. I'll come back to that later. Anyway, my name is Uneeb and I consider myself a strong contender in the championship of the most unluckiest person on earth. I am student of A'Levels. I got an undeserving result in my O'Level; 6 As and 2 Bs. Not bad but I expected straight A's. Being the eldest in my family, I was blithely ignorant of the concept of transcript...I could go on and keep giving irrelevant and insignificant details. However, here is the problem. I did not apply anywhere in U.S.
a. because my records weren't awesome.
b. because I couldn't afford the education on my own.</p>

<p>BUT: I have a passion to grow. I have learnt from my mistakes. The universities there are nothing like that in Pak. All-in-all, I have to get to USA. My family lives there. I just have to get there. This is the ultimate aim.</p>

<p>THE ISSUE: The hard-earned cash is nothing there. I have to do something myself. Scholarship? Maybe. I can not get into a completely unknown university. I think I mentioned my family. And then there is my carelessness. I messed up with my high school transcript.</p>

<p>THE ROUTE I CHOOSE: Canada - A place much more affordable. Most Importantly, leniency in visa policy for Pakistani (compared to the US policies). Get a citizenship or whatever ships and focus towards US later. And Transfer Student - I'll get a chance to improve my records and my A'Level result will be out by then and I'll be able to prove myself.</p>

<p>See, how much trouble am I going to cause myself.</p>

<p>What are you asking us?</p>

<p>u r an idiot</p>

<p>right. umm… so now i’m supposed to console you for not getting into harvard with 100% aid??? OMG! now you have to go to CANADA??? (gee… oh- that’s oh-so-pathetic, man! you should just go to a corner and weep and slit your wrists painfully now)!!! get. a. life.</p>

<p>Sid. agreed, man! ;)</p>

<p>Have your dad contact his friends from back in the days he was successful. Maybe they can help you. Otherwise, you won’t get much sympathy here.</p>
