"Coming to the US From Bosnia to Be a Doctor and Realizing I Had to Repeat Classes" with Marija Dobratic (English)

Welcome to episode 23 of the American Dream in The Eyes of Immigrants Podcast! I am your host, Heidy De La Cruz. Today’s guest is Marija Dobratic. She is a life coach and the host of Legacy Stories LIVE Podcast – another podcast elevating immigrant stories, which I had the honor and pleasure of being a guest on. In today’s episode, we talk about Marija coming to the United States from Bosnia and her wanting to be a doctor, but she quickly found out how different the school system is here and that she had to be pre-med first before going to medical school. We talked about how different the transportation system is in the US compared to Bosnia, where you can walk everywhere. And her experience going back home to visit Bosnia with her family.   If you’d like to connect with Marija, you can follow her on Instagram and TikTok. Make sure to check out her podcast!
