: 要保持一定水準的GPA
It depends on what goals you want to accomplish.
From my observation, less than 5 % of Taiwanese students
plan to work in the US after they graduate from US higher education system.
So they only focus on GPA, not any other things.
But if you are like me, who wants to work in the US,
then you also have to do volunteering in US students associations
to show your leaderships and service spirit.
My major MIS(management information system) requires internship
experiences before I can get a real MIS job in the US.
Before the internship, I need volunteering to show that
I am a team player and I am a people person.
Right now I am working in an American company in the US.
Everything pays off. Even though I was under huge pressure...
at that time I was a TA, and a club officer and
work 40 hours per week and take 9 credit hours in a graduate school......
I was nervous every day and sometimes worry a lot and cannot sleep.
But right now I have a working visa and I feel it is worthy the pain
of overworking.

Americans can quit or withdraw. We as foreign students cannot.
Because USCIS requires us to study full time; other wise, we are
out of status.
I was blessed that my church friends and coworkers and professors
are very supportive to me. They always encourage me while
I was pretty shaky and worried.
Now I regain the peace again. Thank God.
