Ms. Tak said, “I am very happy to have fulfilled my childhood dream of becoming a nurse here in Korea. Although learning English and medical terminology was difficult, the support from my husband, classmates, and the warm encouragement from those around me were the driving forces that allowed me to keep striving and achieve my dream.”
