This Episode Summary

Dr. Undie is a professor of Radio-Oncology Physics at a prestigious Cancer Research in Texas. He finished high school in Nigeria before coming to the United States, where he studied hard to receive not only several medical degrees but also a degree in Criminology.

 

Dr. Undie suggests not sending your child to the United States when they are very young, because they will make a lot of mistakes. He graduated from high school with a scholarship for Industrial Economics. But after receiving his Bachelor’s degree in Wisconsin, he felt Industrial Economics wasn’t the path he wanted to take.

Dr. Undie shares that learning to adjust to Wisconsin cold, missing family and making new friends. He had not intended to stay in the United States, but after returning to Nigeria, his desire to further his education brought him back. However, he found his second experience to be more difficult than the first.
