What brought you to 黑料老司机? Why did you choose to study here?
鈥婭'm originally from Kingston, Ontario, and I moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia in my teens. 鈥婭 have always known that I have wanted to pursue my education in my native language and 黑料老司机 offered just that.

What do you find unique and interesting about your program?
鈥媁hat I found unique about the education program was the length of completion. The Bachelor of Education program is a year-long program which is not something that can be found at other universities. The program being a year long allows for students to take necessary classes over the summer to prepare them for their practicums in the fall. Being in the French cohort, the program allowed me to get to know the other students within my program on a more personal level due to our class sizes. This helped create a stronger bond between all of the students, creating lifelong friendships.

I know that I have found other future teachers that I can always count on and go to for anything throughout my career.

鈥婽hroughout my time at 黑料老司机 I have experienced a number of opportunities through the university and through my own doing. Through my studies I have been able to connect with a multitude of individuals that allowed me to learn what it takes to become a successful teacher. I was able to complete my first practicum in a school that welcomed me with open arms and taught me that no matter the class size, I will always learn new things that will help me go further with my future career. Within the classroom on campus, I have been able to grow as a future educator by learning everything I need to know about my profession.
