Tina Erickson – Social & Community Service Worker Graduate, Surrey

“I enrolled at Discovery Community College with one goal in mind: to make a difference in the lives of others and help people find their own path toward healing. Throughout the program, I gained valuable knowledge, confidence, and a deeper understanding of the importance of personal growth and resilience.

Balancing the demands of school with a daily commute from Maple Ridge to Chilliwack was challenging, and there were moments when I questioned whether I could continue. With the support of my instructor and classmates, I persevered and discovered strength I didn’t know I had. My advice to others is simple: don’t give up. Keep moving forward, because you are capable of more than you think.”
