June 15, 2002, marked the day I landed at LAX and began the adventure of a lifetime. Until then, I had never traveled outside my home country, India. During my senior year as a Civil (Structural) Engineer, I decided to take a chance, sit for the GRE, and explore graduate school opportunities in the United States. What started as a bold step into the unknown soon became so much more than an experience. It became a life, a journey, and a second home. Along the way, I found countless opportunities, built lasting relationships, and discovered perspectives I never imagined. More than two decades later, the adventure continues, and I remain grateful for the leap of faith that changed everything.
