“Discovery Community College gave me the knowledge and the strength to pursue my dream career in healthcare. The college taught me so much about how to become a phenomenal Healthcare assistant. A big shout out to the BC Career College Association (BCCCA) for being able to fund me through this experience, making my dreams come true.

“I chose to go to school because I wanted to grow professionally and open more opportunities in health care. While I loved my work as a support worker, I realized that experience alone was not enough to advance my career. My goal in enrolling at Discovery Community College was to earn a certificate as a Health Care Assistant and become a registered care aid, not just for myself, but for my family. I wanted to provide a better life for my family while serving others in a meaningful way.
Before coming to school, I was working as a support worker. I loved helping people, but I also recognized that further education and certification would help me grow in my career.
Coming to Canada was not easy. I had to leave everything I loved back home, my family, my comfort, and my sense of belonging. I was hesitant and afraid of failing when I first enrolled at Discovery Community College Surrey. The school, especially Ms. Neeru, believed in me when I did not believe in myself. Their guidance, encouragement, and support helped me overcome my fears and gain confidence. Balancing school and family life was very challenging. There were nights I studied with very little sleep while caring for my baby. Moments of exhaustion, tears, and self-doubt came often. But through prayer, perseverance, and faith, I kept going and discovered strength I did not know I had.
I am most proud of graduating from Discovery Community College and I am now officially a Registered Care Aide in British Columbia. Completing the program while managing family responsibilities showed me what dedication and faith can accomplish. My experience at DCC was supportive, inspiring, and transformative. The instructors, especially Ms. Gayatri and Ms. Pia, along with my classmates, encouraged me throughout my journey. I learned patience, gratitude, and the value of perseverance, not just academically, but personally.
I am still working as a support worker at Lower Mainland Society for Community Living. Through my education and certification, I now have more options and can make choices that allow me to settle things at the right time.
To anyone considering school, keep improving, keep learning, and trust yourself. Choose kindness, be patient, and remember that everyone faces different challenges. With faith, perseverance, and compassion, you can overcome even the hardest seasons of life.”
