Friends are special through up and down with you

Ever since I came back from Boston, I clearly feel the desire of going to MIT. Though the offer came in on July, I was so much looking forward my trip to China. Plus, I have a few things on the plate, which I could not feel the strong opinion one over another. Even coming back from China, since I spent so much time with different CEOs, VC and investors, I just do not know my next step at all. For once, I really take my time, even before the trip to Boston, I wonder the alternative. But the time in Boston, SDM open house program, conversations with alumni and current students, and MIT conference. I know that I belong here, not for the name of ivy league but the true feeling of involvement of innovation technology and management.

Coming home, reality kicks in. I need to get status straight, which has cost me many years waiting and rejections to other opportunities. I got frustrated and talked with my close friends, who has been there for me all along, listening and supporting, even believing in me for who I am. They decided to contact local congressman and senators. "If there is a right button, we will help you to find it and let him know how valuable to keep you!" How special to hear this from friends and their trust give me a lot of strength here. I believe there is a miracle.
