Eric made himself a cheap student’s dinner of noodles and leftover chicken. It was another meal spent alone. Thinking back, he couldn’t even remember the last time he ate a meal with another person. It had to have been a month at least. No girlfriend, no close mates, no family for 12,000 miles, being a grad student in a foreign country was a tough life. But it would all be worth it if his research went somewhere. Eric thought that one day he might work at the prestigious National Institutes of Health in Washington DC, the braincenter of medical research. On occasion he even found himself daydreaming about receiving a Nobel Prize. Greatness required sacrifice and he was fully prepared to put in his time.
