Regardless of what you want to study, the most important thing is to study, since you're still young. If possible study a degree at university or polytechnical school. You will have access to langauges classes, teachers and the possibility of many new friends complete with a whole network that will help you settle in quicker. You have family there, so you can start using your Finnish from day one.
Try and arrange that your studies will start within a short time of you ariving in Finland so that you settle down into a normal routine and normal life.

Hei! I am from Argentina, and probably moving to finland next April. I am very nervous about my moving there too. My culture is completely different from yours, none the less, I still find the experience challenging and positive. From my point of view, Finland is a unique place in the world, people are strange, language hard, weather sometimes hard to deal with, but it doesn´t mean we can´t relate to people or have a great time there. I suppose It is all up to you. And what I can infer from what people have been trying to tell you is that if you move being so confident about yourself, then the shock will seem even harder, and you might feel dissapointed. Give yourself time to think this whole thing over and once you have realised that you are about to change your life, you will understand what I am trying to say. Good luck

And for all the rest, sorry about the spelling mistakes.
