favourite subject is psychotherapy. She has many subjects this
semester, therefore she must study hard.
She wants to be a nurse because she likes working with people
and she is interested in science, but she does not like doing
paperwork. She would like to work in paediatrics, because she
enjoys working with children. One day, she hopes that she will
work in a children’s hospital.
She is friendly, responsible and very organized. She makes
