She told her colleagues who are still in the process of studying to relax and enjoy “because this student time, the time of youth, socializing, learning is one of the most beautiful periods of our lives. We often forget this, guided by worry, stress, burdensome thoughts about the future, and I think that sometimes we need a reminder not to take everything so seriously. I would only tell my future colleagues to think carefully, to decide on something they truly love, and thus halfway through. In today's sea of information, options, choices, advice, recommendations, the hardest thing is to somehow hear your voice and create a vision of yourself, and in accordance with it, decide on the appropriate faculty. However, once we shape that vision, then it easily develops on its own. "
The plaque was presented to her by the Acting Rector full prof. Vladimir Božovic, PhD, as part of the celebration of the Day of the University of Montenegro.
