Coming from a simple and humble beginning as a midwife, Lily began a quest to achieve a better future for herself by working abroad. She thought that living and working overseas would be a dream come true. Her first taste of life abroad was in the Middle East. There, she was first confronted with the challenges of being away from her loved ones. Her sense of right and wrong was greatly tested. Through relatives in Canada, Lily moved to Calgary and became a caregiver. In a span of three years, she witnessed the unusual, interesting, and often hilarious life experiences of other foreign workers who came across her path. Gaining an open visa is one of the most important achievements in the life of an overseas foreign worker. Having this status, these workers are allowed by the government to pursue any opportunities they desire, including taking on a career of their choice. Having transitioned from a very conservative society to a very liberal one, the very foundation of her values was shaken. It was in Canada where she learned the importance of exercising the freedom of personal choice. Some workers stray toward more secular lifestyles, but Lily discovered and followed the path toward hope, love, peace, and contentment.
