My story begins at the beginning of 2014. I was in the last year of high school and by the end of it I had to decide where to make the next step. My family wanted me to study abroad and that's what I wanted too. I had a friend who applied here in Denmark and told me all about it. How the society works, people respect the rules and do their jobs. I liked it instantly. I applied and in April i got accepted, right on my birthday. I had no fear at all of leaving, no thoughts in my mind about it. I had no accommodation and only one friend here. So I left without having any idea of how it will be when I will arrive. I knew I am on my own, I knew I had to do my best and play it by the book, no scams, no cheating, no nothing. Do your job, be honest, don't risk and take care of yourself. The first week I had no place to live buy I was spending my nights on websites and talking to people to find accommodation. I met you (Jette) back then . Being so determined, someone in my network noticed me and told me he has a room and that I need to find a roommate. I did and here I am still living in the same place almost 3 years later. From the point of view of jobs I was lucky to have good friends. Someone recommended me and so I got my first job. Underpaid and working as a slave but I had a stable job. Uncertainty can kill you if you don't act quickly. It's the fear of what will happen if...I had troubles at uni because of the new way of teaching which is very different than in Romania. It was really hard to adapt. I felt like I didn't know anything at all. In the end, I graduated with an average of 10,66. Sometimes failure is in our head, when we are afraid and when we do not know wha comes next. It's quite hard to make new friends here because often people have a lot of preconceptions. Romanians are thieves, beggars.... and generally because Danish people are a bit cold. I haven't cracked that secret yet, still working on it. Now I am studying my bachelors in CS and see things going in a positive direction and I am happy for it. In conclusion, I am truly grateful for being a student in Denmark and part of an impressive society. It was hard, maybe very hard for me to adapt to a new world. It depends on the type of person you are. I am a warm hearted guy who had to cope with a Nordic country where people are colder from this point of view. I hope this answer will help you and future students will learn from it.
