Through my experience, I have built some great relationships, made new friends, re-acquainted with familiar faces, and gained so much knowledge that I will be able to take with me into the last year of my program and (with any luck and several cups of Starbucks coffee) after graduation. I left the conference and Fredericton with a renewed sense of confidence – stronger than the one I first gained when I first got accepted to Douglas’ program or even when I was on the same plane as some AVLIC members. Though it seemed daunting at first, I would definitely say the sacrifice was worth it
