Once my employment insurance was paid off, I tried to find a job related to my previous work experience in Oakville where I live as my youngest child was only 2 year-old. But there was not much professional opportunity in Oakville. Therefore, I decided to take any job for living and have been working as "Office Administration".

Since last year, I made my decision to pursue my professional career as I have developed a strong interest in business and finance field. Also, my two boys (8 and 10 year-old) are at school already and my husband has flexible hours to drop them to school and pick them up from school since he is self-employed. I have been actively searching job and attending job fairs in the Toronto GTA area. However, a university or college diploma in Business, finance or accounting field is required. Therefore, I applied for "Business Administration-Finance" diploma program in Sheridan College as a mature student and accepted.

I have never applied or received any kind of financial assist from government except employment insurance and I am trying to apply for second career funding program currently. Hopefully I will be qualified and approved, so I can improve myself by upgrading my education and skills, better prepared for my career and can make greater contributions to society and country as a responsible

    Moving to Canada was very difficult because I didn't know anyone and the environment was very unfamiliar. I was culture shocked. I'm not going to say that my English was awful but it wasn't superb either. I didn't have any friends and I've never felt so alone in my life. I was proud of myself because I really strived to better my English so I can improve my conversation skills.…

    Times have been rough, but I am sure you are aware of this. I am writing to you in a time of extremely dire circumstances. During a case I was part of not too long ago a discourteous lawyer absolutely engulfed in his work decided to say such words that have lifted a forgotten sprit within me. After speaking to the Attorney General about allowing 'mixed company' to be present in cases about prostitution, I was much too overjoyed about winning that I failed to realize the many injustices that are still prevailing, ruining our fellow sisters. It is because of this reason that when I heard such infantile words come out of that lawyers mouth was I absolutely appalled.…

    What makes a Canadian Canadian? This question was hard to answer having lived here for only a year. In fact, I knew nothing about Canadian history before taking this class, and I don’t watch Hockey. So my initial thought about Canadian was that they don’t have distinct identity that binds them together. In a multicultural society that doesn’t assimilate but integrates other cultures, it was difficult to find a single thing that defines Canadian identity.…

    Home is a good place to start when reflecting on my personal biography and history. Therefore, to make sense of who I am and to “think [myself] away from the familiar routines of everyday life” (Mills) it requires that I trace my parents’ separate journeys culminating in their calling Vancouver, Canada home. Like a stone skipping across a pond, my grandfather made the journey from Ireland to upstate New York and, a generation later, his son to Vancouver, BC. When questioned on the subject of his wanderings, my father would offer anecdotes about the mountains of snow and bitterly cold winters on the southern shore of Lake Ontario as the reason for picking up roots and leaving family and friends, but I’m sure the real explanation behind his exodus…
