Dora Roy – Practical Nurse Access Graduate, Nanaimo

“Returning to school was one of the biggest decisions of my life. As a Registered Care Aide, business owner, and parent, balancing family, work, and an intensive program wasn’t easy, but Discovery Community College gave me the opportunity to pursue my goals and grow both personally and professionally.

Throughout the program, I faced challenges that tested my confidence and resilience. There were moments of self-doubt, but with the encouragement of my family, friends, and instructors, I learned to push through and trust in my abilities.

My time at DCC was transformative. It challenged me, strengthened me, and reminded me that growth happens when we step outside our comfort zones. If you’re considering going back to school, take the leap. You may be surprised by just how capable you are.”
