Ms. Chau completed her first year of the nursing program at Ha-Dong Medical College and reported that she adjusted well to the college life. She didn't do too well and managed to pass all classes with mostly B's and C's. In spare time, Ms. Chau also worked as teacher assistant at a nearby kindergarten. Over the summer, she worked at a book shop. She reported that she'll be doing the first internship (2 weeks long) in mid October (2025). The nursing program is only 3 years long, so she'll be graduating in 2027.
