Maica Baluyot – Health Care Assistant – Campbell River

“I heard about the Health Care Assistant (HCA) program from my friend who is currently working in a home support. I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous support of our school. Your contribution has made a meaningful difference, and we truly appreciate your commitment to helping students like me succeed. Because of additional sponsorship, I am able to provide better opportunities, improved resources, and a more enriching learning environment. Your generosity not only supports our education today but also inspires us to work hard and strive for a brighter future. Thank you for believing in us and investing in our growth. Your kindness has had a real impact, and we are deeply grateful.

It’s been 7 years since I graduated in the Philippines and it’s really a big challenge for me to be back in school, but every time I think of my family, my friends and to the one who sponsor me, I had the courage to finish this course. While at school I met my classmates who inspired me as well. We helped each other. I am a working student, so time management is important as well. I could say it was not an easy but I did it. While I am on this course, I realize how important our job is.

The HCA program has given me new opportunity for employment and a career.  Working in the healthcare is really a good thing to do there are lots of benefits as well that could help me and my family. It is not just about the money but also the feeling of helping others even in the smallest thing that we could offer that can bright their days and that makes me inspire to become a Health Care Assistant.
