The Non-Immigrant Student

The Non-Immigrant Student podcast is an audio journal of my grad-school (and now corporate) journey in the United States of America.

It is an inspirational podcast that seeks to encourage and provide guidance to other non-immigrant students across the globe on how to live their best lives while fulfilling their Study/Work Abroad dreams or living far away home!

My stories reveal all the lessons I'm learning on this journey, and I honestly believe that ''If I can do it, you can do it too!''

So excited to have you with me on this journey, Welcome!

Hi Tolu, My name is ….. and I’m an International Undergrad Student of Public Health at Brigham Young University-Idaho. The content that you share on your podcast has really inspired me throughout my time preparing for my visa interview and also pursuing my educational goals. I wrote to you sometime ago expressing how challenging it was for me getting an available appointment date at the US embassy before the fall semester starts...and I’m so glad you replied. By the grace of God, my emergency appointment request was approved and scheduled for the 2nd of September, 2021 after waiting for 2 months and I feel glad to say that my visa was approved ✅ and I’d be starting classes on campus this fall on the 13th of this month (September). Thanks so much for sharing your story as it really inspired and motivated me to be resilient even when I felt like giving up. I must say that I feel excited and somehow anxious on this journey of being an International Student in the USA but nevertheless, I know it’s worth it. I believe that as you’ve created a positive impact in my life, you’re also doing the same to lots of people out there. You’ve been an inspiration to this generation in ways you may not know, and I believe that you will have success and happiness in your life as you now go forth and continue to live a life of purpose. Looking forward to more of your podcasts. God bless you Tolu for all you do! Sincerely, ….

Ithaca, New York
