According to Einstein, “Everything should be made as simple as possible but not simpler.”
In all honesty, I don’t know what I want from the world. So many ideas go through my brain, that I get little bit frustrated with myself. I want to find a way to the path that is true to who I am. And I believe that the career exploration program helps me find this path. I almost give up and stopped my application journey to U.S. last year. Good friends of mine are always contacting me if I was contacted by the same agency they had applied. And my answer is no. Months later my friends in Maryland Baltimore had a call on me to apply to this new agency named I-RISE USA and quickly I submitted my partial documents which is my letter of application and resume’. It’s never on my mind the focus of this because I almost not to pursue in this type of dream and give up. Luckily, days after I submitted my application I-RISE USA, LLC had a quick email on my side, I was totally shocked and wondering why it’s so fast and, in my mind, it’s almost to end the month of March. The process of my application and interview is very straight all night, it somehow made me cry, praying and praising the Lord about these signs, and question myself, Am I ready to these? Am I this strong person again to pursue? I think only a week of my application I was hired by I-RISE USA. God give me the reason to walk and run through this journey I was hired on the memorable day, and it was “Palm Sunday”. During the whole month of April, I built my new me rushing to get all my requirements to be submitted before the deadline. I am very thankful that team I-RISE USA, LLC had so much grace and trust that I can do it and I can submit it on time with their supports and fine follow up of my requirements, and the process is very fast, until I reach the finish line of my partial requirements of documents. In a day, here it comes finding the financial support, I-RISE USA, LLC find ways for us to look forward and I have doubts. And those doubts vanished because my family is there, giving me the opportunity to pursue giving some advice and funding my financial needs. So as the cliché’ the show must go and trust the process. I-RISE USA, LLC helps us to connect with the financing agencies, gives us the opportunity to proceed and it gives me a reason to think that I am almost there. They provide us with the service with the best of the best information, a quick sending of requirements and forms needed by the MSDE and all support for our PD sessions. Even though it is very tiring for me to sleep late at night, my heart is very happy after all. I am not looking for a bright future of myself, but it’s all about brighter world of my family, and It’s all about the love and passion of teaching, a call of teaching to the young minds of today’s generation all over the world. I-RISE USA, LLC raises our high hopes and motivates us through this journey with love and support more than we call family and creating a big impact for us who have dreams and challenge us to have a meaningful life as a teacher. Giving us the sense to feel the love and passion of teaching to the needs of our students when we get there. We need to carry the torch of light towards teaching, because learning does not only happen in the four corners of the classroom, but also let love of our hearts, hands and shoulders to lean on. Thank you and God Bless America!

My experience with i-Rise USA as an Autism classroom educator in the United States has been incredibly rewarding. Right from the beginning, i-Rise USA showcased unmatched expertise in the cultural exchange program process. Their comprehensive professional development programs not only equipped me and my colleagues for the complexities of the US education system but also ensured a seamless transition.
One aspect that particularly impressed me was i-Rise USA's ability to place us with reputable visa sponsorship agencies, leading to a successful visa acquisition process for the entire cohort with approved visas
I highly recommend i-Rise USA to anyone seeking assistance in securing educational job opportunities and navigating the US job market. Their commitment to client success and the exceptional quality of their services are truly commendable.
