I graduated in 2016 from the Mississauga campus as a Community Service Worker (CSW). Previously i had worked in a totally different field, i lost my job and decided to make a change in my career. i decided on Trios for a couple of reasons; one that the course was only one year in length and two; i would be able to complete an internship. From the moment I walked through the doors to Trios, everyone gave me the feeling of warmth and made me feel that i can be successful in my new choice of career. As my career began, I would meet one of the most influential woman in my life, my instructor Nancy Gibbs. The first lesson i learnt from her was to get to know myself, and to find out if I was capable of being a source of help to other people. The CSW field called for you to be emphatic and compassionate, I found Nancy to be all of those things and more. She taught me to be unbiased and accepting of everyone, even when they gave you a reason not to be kind to them. Thank you Nancy, you are my hero. As I moved through my course I also had Joanne Bradley, my Employment Specialist, who spent a lot of time guiding me through my career choices and never stopped supporting me, even now. Thank you Joanne. I have found a field that I can make a difference in people's life one person at a time, and I have trios to thank for that. Love you all..
