A brief biography of Flavia Oprea
?
Flavia was born in January 30, 1984 in Arad. Felicia and Radu, her parents immigrated to Austria when she was 6 years old. She spent her first years of school in Sankt Poelten, a town that was half way destroyed during the Wolrd War II, but rebuilt after 1945.
The Oprea family has lived there for 11 years than they moved to Vienna where they lingered another one year before immigrating to The United States on March 10 2002. Atlanta, Georgia was the first town which embraced them when they made their first step on the american ground. They lived there untill 2004 when they decided to make a move to the town of Goodyear (a suburb of Phoenix, which is the capital of Arizona and the fifth largest city in the United States).
After her graduation from ??Arizona State University??, where her major field of study was German language and???pre-med?? followed by the minor field of study that was French. She is currently a student of Medicine. Her regal professional ambition is to pursue her medical career and when it comes to her personal life, she really wants to settle down and spring up her own family.
??I?ve never doubted the importance of being a diploma holder, but people have already started to ask about my age and somehow to insinuate that the time has come for me to get married. I?m aware of the old traditional Romanian culture that emphasizes the significance of getting married when you are 20 instead of working out a solid career. But in my opinion it can not be one without the other”, concluded the young intellectual girl.
As far her hobbies are concerned, Flavia likes to play the piano and go to concerts. She loves to travel and meet people from different walks of life, not to mention her enjoyment to write in her journal the moments she goes through.
Since she spent 12 years into a West-European country, there are some things that she really lacks here in America. “When I was living in Austria, I?ve noticed that people are more relaxed. They have more spare time. From this point of view, here we encounter a lot of stress and everybody lives on a fast lane”, mentioned Flavia. She visited several of other countries in Europe like Germany, Italy, Austria, France, Switzerland and Lichtenstein. And the most amazing places she found in Switzerland?: ??I?ve been moved by the glaciers from The Alps and I really like those cute european villages of German style??. Comparing the two states she was residing in (Georgia and Arizona), Flavia noticed that the atmosphere is quite depressing in Georgia, because the humidity is pretty high especially in Atlanta.
Therefore it?s raining often and is almost all the time cloudy. But she really enjoyed Arizona, where she could find the most amazing places in America. ??I like more the weather in Arizona because here you can enjoy sunny days and further more, the most beautiful places I?ve ever seen in America, I?ve found them in Arizona, especially The Grand Canyon, that is really impressive?.
She?s all the time attentive to what?s happening around her and she is really willing to improve her all-around education. When it comes to the college, the general subject matters are just a piece of cake for her. I?m not exagerating if I say that this young lady is able to have a proper conversation at a academic level in English, German and French. Today a lot of college graduates embrace the fashion of specialization and aspire to become intellectuals without general knowledge.
Especially here in The Unites States, there is the preconception that a specialist should remain a specialist only. The sociologists say that there are two paradoxical thesis. The first sustains that?: The Civilization level of a society is directly proportional with the culture level of the people who compose it. The second thesis is the following?: The civilization that relies only on the all-around education is immature and condemned to be a second-hand civilization forever. In other words and paradoxically, if you do not have all-around education, you are taken as uneducated person and if you have only the all around education you are condemned to be perceived as a second hand level person. It?s like statting that it is better to have all the around-education than not having it at all or the lack of a specialization breaks the wings of your knowledge and invalidate the foundation of your all around education, if it happens this to be the only education that you got so far. The prerograrives are indisputable taking into consideration that the American universities are on the first line when it comes to tehnology and educational techniques, not to mention that they provide its students with the best equipments and resourses.

For 30 years the story of Ioan Gabor from Oradea, Romania amazed the medical world around the globe. Having fallen into a pool of boiling water mixed with hydrate of sodium, and then having been pulled out from 12 feet under by a miracle, his legs had lost their flesh. Mr Gabor is now able to walk again and in the place where there was once just bare bone, flesh and skin are now growing again. This event, which marked his life as well as the lives of hundreds of others around him, as well as the events that followed, came to the attention of the Department of Health, whose experts were left speechless. The communist regime at that time kept the miracle from being publicized by the media; moreover, they tried hard to silence the victim because medical science could not scientifically explain the miraculous outcome of his accident.Read the rest of this entry »
