Improved Essays
My mother, Annette MacRitchie, made the life changing decision to come to TWU from Ontario. In 1985, she had the privilege of being awarded the Terry Fox Scholarship, which she could choose to use at any Canadian University. She chose to attend Trinity because at that time it was the only Christian university in Canada. It turns out she never moved back to Ottawa, and the bonds made at Trinity have survived the test of time. To this day, she still tells me it was the best decision she made in her younger years.
When I was younger, I actually thought that Trinity Western was the only university that existed. My dad went to Simon Fraser, but for some reason that was never relevant to me. I feel as if attending TWU is something God has always

    While researching Prairie State college, a two year, suburban community college that was founded in 1957; I came across some concerning information.

    I chose to attend Wor-Wic Community College because of the support system that Wor-Wic has to offer. I applied to the school and attended it while I was injured with a traumatic knee injury and the staff really proved to me that they cared.

Everywhere that I go I advocate for Wor-Wic because it is truly more than an institution, it is like another family to me.…
