During his senior year in high school, he knew he wanted to come to the United States<\/span>\u00a0to<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>earn<\/span>\u00a0a\u00a0<\/span>bachelor\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>degree<\/span>. Before\u00a0<\/span>deciding on\u00a0<\/span>T<\/span>exas Christian University<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0he went to a community college in Houston for his first year. \u201cI was happy and excited that TCU allowed me to transfer many of my credits\u00a0<\/span>completed in the<\/span>\u00a0community college<\/span>,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
