Devangini Patel – Community Support Worker Graduate, Surrey

“As a mother of two with a passion for helping others, I decided to return to school to gain the education, skills, and confidence needed to turn that passion into a meaningful career. Discovery Community College provided a supportive learning environment that helped me grow both personally and professionally.

Balancing family responsibilities, coursework, and practicum placements was not always easy, but each challenge helped strengthen my confidence and belief in myself. Completing my practicum and supporting individuals through compassionate, trauma-informed care showed me that I can make a positive difference in my community. My experience at DCC was truly inspiring and life-changing.”
