Stay Focused and Keep your Eyes on Goals
My Dear Child,
Greetings from IMFS, your alma mater.
I hope this message finds you and your family in good health and spirits. As you immerse yourself in your academic pursuits, we are continuously proud of your efforts and the resilience you display in navigating the complexities of studying abroad.
Currently, U.S. campuses are experiencing a wave of political activism related to the Israel/Palestine issue. We understand the intensity of the discussions surrounding this, but it is crucial for you to remain cautious in such environments. Your primary focus must be on your studies and personal development.
Please remember, participating in political rallies or protests can jeopardize your visa status. Your being at the protest sites can lead to detention, which could result in the potential loss of your F-1 visa status. As much as we value the importance of expressing one’s views, your safety and academic progress cannot be compromised. Therefore, we strongly advise you to stay neutral and avoid any political standoffs or protests.
Continue to dedicate yourself to your studies and take every opportunity to build a network that will support your future goals. Your time in the U.S. is invaluable for gaining knowledge and experiences that will shape your career and personal growth.
Stay safe, secure, and focused on your path. We are always here for you, cheering you on from afar.
God bless you all.
Warm regards,
K. P. Singh
