Ransford Kwakye talks about his nursing studies2.

Ransford Kwakye thinks that the best thing in Jyväskylä is nature  - and the teachers!  

" I came to Finland 2013.  I chose Finland because I fell in love with my girlfriend and we got married and we decided that I come to visit. But when I came in, unfortunately, the relationship didn't work out and I decided to stay to fight for my wife back.

I'm a kind of guy that don't give up easily. I realized that there are a lot of opportunities here, especially with education. So I decided I would stay, you know, further my education and also because I was good in playing basketball, try to play basketball in some field teams in Finland.

I chose the school Jamk because during COVID, there's nothing you can do outdoor. I decided that instead of staying home, I would rather channel that energy into a program in the field of nursing where I can help to provide services and
save lives in the health sector."
