Putting "to do smt" at the beginning

Hello everyone.

Do you think that we can use "to do smt" at the beginning?

I know we can use the preposition "for" for that case but am not sure about the usage of "to".

Let me give you some examples.

1-) We can say: "For a better education in the U.S, I have got a few opportunities."

How about this one "To get a better education in the U.S, I have got a few opportunities."


2-) We can say: "For a great holiday in Turkey, there are some opportunities."

How about this one "To have a great holiday in Turkey, there are some opportunities."

Thank you.

None of your sentences are natural. You can say: I have (got) a few opportunities for a better education in the US. There are some opportunities for a great holiday in Turkey.
