In September 2017, I continued studying. This time it was much easier because I was already used to the life of a university student. Besides my study, I also participated in a Surinamese student association, Surinamese Students Abroad (SSA) , where I gained a lot of great experience and skills such as time management, working in teams, organizing events, activities, gaining social and communication skills. During this great year in the organization, I also expanded my network. When I was much younger I always dreamt of studying abroad and living in the Netherlands or the United States of America. The reason why I chose the Netherlands was that it would be much easier in the beginning to adapt. This, due to a lot of my family members already living in the Netherlands. I really dreamt of living in Amsterdam, the capital city of the Netherlands. I turned my dream into reality. In January 2017, I moved on my own to campus Uilenstede in Amstelveen, near Amsterdam. It was nice living...
