What are the most rewarding sites?

Most interesting and rewarding things about my course that it is more English based. Also I am seeking a good competence of Finnish language. I really want to improve my finnish language skills as soon as possible.

Also the studies being more innovative and practical in nature the course is interesting.

And the challenging sides?

The biggest hurdle in my way is my Finnish language skills.I am trying to take extra lessons for that too. Also finding a part time job to assist my self for my personal livelihood is a bit difficult at the moment.

The weather at the moment is a bit hard too, but its not impossible. There is no excuse to miss my class because the roads are fine, busses are on time and everything else is running normal.

I wish to settle in Finland. It is a country of many dreams. There's a lot of opportunities here to succee and live a happy family life. I need to be professional in my career and have a good job in future. Serving the country in a nurse profession, I will do my best to my retirement. I wish to take up a job in ICU department probably. Because that interests me the most.
