00:00Virginia, what's yours?
00:02My name is Elisa Gewan.
00:04Say it once more.
00:06My name is Elisa Gewan.
00:08I can get the Ellie, but I didn't get the rest of it.
00:10Elisa. Elisa. Yes.
00:12Got it. All right. Have a seat, Elisa.
00:14My name is Bob. Nice to meet you.
00:16I'm here to observe.
00:18All right. Have a seat. We can ask you some questions.
00:22Tell me, why do you want to study in the United States?
00:24As my major is Business Administration
00:26and USC is known for the largest
00:28and the business economy in the world,
00:30which provides unique curriculum activities
00:32in the field of business.
00:34And I believe that United States is the right
00:36destination for them to gain
00:38knowledge about the business world.
00:40So that's why I have
00:42chosen United States.
00:44All right. What university have you selected?
00:46I have applied for
00:48Murray State University. Murray State in Kentucky.
00:50Yes. Yes. I know that. I'm from
00:52Kentucky.
00:54How do you plan to pay for your
00:56education?
00:58My parents are going to pay for my education
01:00with a combined annual income
01:02of $45,000 USD
01:04which includes my father's
01:06business of automobiles.
01:08From that, he owns around
01:10$40,000 USD.
01:12And my mother worked at the government sector
01:14of Department of
01:16Fraud as a senior employee.
01:18From that, she owns around
01:20$5,000 USD.
01:22And we have a saving also
01:24which will be used for
01:26my future education, which is around
01:28$59,000 USD.
01:30Wow. That's very expensive, isn't it?
01:32Have you already applied to the school?
01:34Yes.
01:35Have they offered you a scholarship?
01:37No, ma'am.
01:38But I'm capable to get the scholarship.
01:41But my university has the policy that
01:44after the enrollment of students,
01:46they only provide the scholarship.
01:48I need visa.
01:49All right.
01:50What is your GPA?
01:52My GPA in my high school was
01:543.23 on the scale of 4.
01:57All right.
01:58That's very good.
01:59That's good.
02:00What do you plan to do after
02:02you complete your education?
02:04After completing my education,
02:06I will come back to Nepal.
02:07I will start my career as an entrepreneur
02:10investing in different manufacturing companies,
02:12clothing brands, and I will expand
02:14my father's business of automobiles here in Nepal
02:18with the different cities.
02:19And I will start an organization
02:23which will work for the welfare of the street dogs.
02:27Your father sells automobiles?
02:30Yes.
02:31Automobiles.
02:32Reconditioned.
02:33Automobiles.
02:34Automobiles.
02:35I don't know what that is.
02:36That is like a bike, a scooter.
02:39Okay.
02:40It's any kind of automation?
02:42Yes.
02:43For transportation?
02:44Yes.
02:45All right.
02:46Do you ride a motorbike?
02:47Yes, I do.
02:48I'm amazed.
02:49Okay.
02:50I'm also very impressed.
02:51Have you ever been arrested?
02:53No, ma'am.
02:54Did you have any disciplinary problems
02:56when you were in school?
02:57No.
02:58All right.
02:59Do you drink?
03:00No, ma'am.
03:01Do you have a relationship
03:02with anyone here in this country?
03:03No, ma'am.
03:04How about in the United States?
03:06No.
03:07No, ma'am.
03:08All right.
03:09One more question.
03:12Do you have relatives in the United States?
03:15No, sir.
03:16I don't have relatives.
03:17So you're the first one to go?
03:19Yes.
03:20All right.
03:21How will you handle any language barriers
03:24you may encounter in your classes?
03:27A language barrier?
03:29Like my English proficiency is strong.
03:31I have worked on it.
03:33I have made my English proficiency very strong
03:36by talking with foreigners, taking class of English.
03:40So I don't think I will have any language barrier in English.
03:44All right.
03:45Every discipline has a peculiar vocabulary, even business.
03:51Yes.
03:52So I hope that you are thoroughly familiar
03:55with the terminology that's used in business.
03:58Have you gone over that kind of terminology?
04:01Have you looked into that?
04:03Looked into it.
04:04For business?
04:05Business, yeah.
04:06I have searched about business and my father is also engaged in business.
04:10So I'm familiar with the business field.
04:13All right.
04:14I'm going to ask her about, have you ever experienced homesickness?
04:19Yes.
04:20Being away from home a long time and you get feeling bad?
04:24Yes.
04:25I definitely feel homesickness.
04:27Okay.
04:28But where did you go when you were homesick?
04:30In here.
04:31Here I live with my parents.
04:33Yes.
04:34But did you visit someplace else in Nepal?
04:37Yes.
04:38But yes, I do.
04:40And I have visited Chiton.
04:43Oh, yes.
04:44Yes.
04:45Gandruk.
04:46We are near a place.
04:48Did you say you have brothers and sisters?
04:51Yes.
04:52I have younger brother and elder sister.
04:54So you're the oldest child?
04:56Are you the oldest child?
04:58No, no.
04:59I have my older sister.
05:01After that, me and my younger brother.
05:03Oh, so you're the middle child.
05:04Yes.
05:05All right.
05:06The middle child is supposed to have personality.
05:08During vacation times, where will you go?
05:13During my vacation time, I will explore United States.
05:18I will make friends.
05:19I will hang out with them and I will call them in my place for Nepali food.
05:24Well, very good.
05:25Will you get to come home any time in the four years?
05:28Will you get to come back to Nepal?
05:30Yes, I will definitely come Nepal.
05:32During your...
05:33Vacation period, yes.
05:34Okay, good.
05:35Virginia, what if somebody offers you a job when you're about to graduate and say,
05:41we have a good job for you here in the United States.
05:43What would you say?
05:44I will deny that job because I want to work in my home country and I want to expand my father's
05:51business and I want to see my home country double in the business field.
05:56So that's why I will deny that job.
05:58That's a good answer.
06:00Let me see if there's anything else I need to ask you before we go.
06:06Will you be living on campus in the dormitory?
06:10Yes.
06:11We think that's a very good idea because you will learn more English from your friends probably
06:16than you will learn when you're in class.
06:19Yes.
06:20What are your thoughts on the current global economic situation?
06:28The current global economics is going down.
06:32And I think that's because of several reasons like war between Russia and Ukraine and so many
06:42destructions, Israel and Palestine, I think.
06:47Good answer.
06:49I think that's all I have to ask you.
06:51I hope you get your visa.
06:54If I had the power, I would gladly grant it.
06:57Thank you so much.
06:58I'm happy to have my interview.
07:00Oh, you do?
07:01Yes.
07:02On Tuesday.
07:03Next Tuesday?
07:04Yes.
07:05Oh, we'll be in the United States.
07:07So I hope tell Selena, she will email me.
07:12Okay.
07:13Okay.
07:14Thank you so much.
07:16Have a nice day.
