I am going to be a psychiatrist, so I planned to work at the Alexandria Hospital across the street from my school
in the psychiatric ward. However, when the opportunity was presented to me to work as an English tutor at the
Theresianum Akademie Wien in Vienna, Austria, I was thrilled and jumped at the chance.
