How the Career Resource Centre Helped: The variety of resources available in the centre quieted her anxieties about teaching prospects, and opened her eyes to the possibility of alternatives to in-school teaching, and to the prospect of teaching abroad! She also learned a lot about the various programs Brock has to offer, and has spiked a newfound interest in Linguistics!
So that's who we are! Now for a preview of what we have in store for the blog over the next four months. It's definitely something to include on your reading list this summer! ;)
