I can’t believe my results, they are better than I imagined. I am going to Uxbridge College to study electrical engineering and am excited to work towards a career as an electrician. School hasn’t come easy to me, but I didn’t give up and the teachers didn’t give up on me and now I get to go on and pursue a career I’ve always wanted. I’m really grateful to my teachers for helping me get here.
