Gina Leung – CSW, Education Assistant & Mental Health Graduate, Surrey

“As a single mother returning to school at 53, I wanted to create a more secure future for my son while proving that it is never too late to pursue your goals. Discovery Community College provided a supportive environment where I gained the confidence, knowledge, and practical skills needed to begin a meaningful new career.

The personal growth I experienced throughout this journey is the accomplishment I am most proud of. With the support of my instructors and classmates, I not only graduated with confidence but also secured a full-time Education Assistant position before completing my program. My advice to anyone considering going back to school is simple: don’t let fear or age define your limits. You are capable of creating a future beyond what you imagined.”
