Shabiha Nymphi is one of 50 immigrants who will be naturalized at the George W. Bush Presidential Center on March 18.
What does it mean to become an American citizen?
I moved to the United States from Malaysia in 2014, and what truly amazed me about this country is the cultural diversity and welcoming nature of the community. I have seen the excellent practices of moral values and respect for law and order of the citizens. I am currently going to school for my MBA and completing a minor in Health Care Strategy.
There are a lot of opportunities to grow professionally in the United States, and I find people are very cooperative at the work place too. At school I am also able to achieve academic excellence with the guidance of dedicated professors.
What are your plans once you complete your MBA?
I am planning to go into the healthcare industry. I want to give back to the community through my work. I want to be a part of the positive change that make healthcare policies and regulations better and benefit everyone. This country gives me the opportunity to do that. In America, I can pursue my dream of helping people and continue my passion to be a successful American citizen.
