My name is Christine Lolita Salyckram, and I am eighteen years old. I currently live in Brampton, Ontario and attend Sheridan College. The program that I am enrolled in is the Social Service worker program. The field that interests myself is the immigration and refugee stream.

I do things out of the goodness of my own heart and just want to please and make people happy. I believe this is why I chose to enter into the field of social work. My passion is to help people to the best of my abilities so at the end of the day I know to my heart and self that I am making a difference in the world. My family always told me that while I was growing up, and even today that I have a good heart, and that I am always thinking of others. Throughout my high school years, I struggled figuring out what I wanted to do with my life. While talking to teachers, guidance councilors, family and friends, they all suggested one thing, to become a social worker. At first I did not know much about what a social worker did, or where they worked or even if I was fit to
