My name is Lejla Cardzic. I come from Bosnia and Herzegovina. But now I
live and work in Finland. I have graduated, as a Mechanical Engineer, a year
ago. During my study exchange period in JAMK in 2017, I fell in love with the
country and decided to look for work and stay. It is enough to say ‘The land of
thousand lakes’ and it already sounds like a dreamland. Well for me, it really
is.
There are 187 888 lakes and 178 947 islands here. Finland has been well
known for its good educational system which is mostly based on practical
knowledge through teamwork. That helps to get new friends, which makes
studies more interesting. Almost everywhere in Finland, people have access to free
education in both: basic and advanced skills. In this country, education is
aimed at offering equal opportunities. Studying in JAMK makes every student
feel special, there every student is a priority for each professor. They will
not stop explaining the matter until they are sure we have completely
understood their lesson. Tutor teacher helps exchange students in every
possible issue getting you to feel you are important. During my study in
Finland, I had some free time for other activities as well. I studied the
Finnish language on my own, while I was studying mechanical engineering at
JAMK. I now speak Finnish every day. It is one of the most difficult but also
the most beautiful and poetical languages. It is worth every effort. I have
been listening to Finnish heavy metal bands since childhood, which also
contributed to my love of Finland. Finland has heavy metal bands per capita in
the world. Sauna is one of the things I got used to the most here and cannot
imagine my life without it now. There are more saunas than cars in Finland. You
can often hear Finns complaining about cold Finnish weather. That is because
most people here have no idea how hard it is to study, work, breath, fall
asleep and eat, while temperatures are too high. This has been the best summer
of my life.
Outdoor activities, playing, swimming, reading books, all day on the
beach, without feeling uncomfortable, sweaty or tired. The sun is constantly on
the horizon. It is shining, but not burning. When we get bored of it, then
comes beautiful constant darkness, covered with northern lights. White winter,
exactly how winter is supposed to be. The one I had seen in Christmas movies as
a little girl, hoping I will someday live here. For me, it is impossible to
choose the favorite season in this Dreamland of mine, so any semester you
decide to study in Finland, will be the best season. Following my graduation, I
looked for a workplace in Finland. Finns are well known for their high
mentality, which beside taking care of nature and deep honesty, includes the
respect of anyone’s effort. They did respect mine effort in studying Finnish,
graduating in time, as well as my love for this country. That helped to get a
workplace in Finland, as a Mechanical Engineer at Consulting and Engineering
company Elomatic in Jyväskylä site. I will be forever grateful for this
wonderful honest nation for respecting me and my efforts, believing in my
dreams, giving me an opportunity to succeed here, in this heaven on
Earth.
Sincerely, Lejla
