Enriched by Diverse Cultures & Supportive Community – Anjali’s PSW Story

In celebration of our convocation 2023, and the opportunity for us to finally be together and celebrate in person after three years, we asked our graduates to share their Anderson College experience.

Asking, “How has Anderson College changed your life?” prompted over a hundred submissions … this is one of those extraordinary student stories.

We hope this reflection moves you, as it has our Anderson family, and inspires you to ever embrace the career and life you imagine and, truly, deserve.

The environment and communication issues, these things can trigger me a lot for going back to school but somehow at Anderson, everything seems normal, and I enjoyed and have been comfortable in my entire journey. I chose the PSW program. Giving support to those who are in need and helping them with their daily activities sounds normal but requires a lot of courage. I love to talk and meet with new people, helping people makes me happier than those who receive the support.

“Studying at Anderson changed my life a lot and can help me advance in my career.”

At the time, when I chose this program, I was wondering how it would change my life but as soon as I learned about it, I started thinking that this was the best decision that I have ever made. I chose my program as it was a program that has a lot of demand and jobs in Canada, and the salary is good. At Anderson, all the staff members were really helpful, including my coordinator, financial aid advisor, and teachers. The one who helped me the most was my financial aid advisor. She guided me through each next step of my journey at Anderson; without her I don’t think I would have even had hope for completing my study.

My parents and my husband are the ones who helped me a lot during my study period. Getting paperwork done and taking me from home to school and back home, my husband helped me with everything even though he has his work. He gave my study much more priority and helped me a lot by making me understand the things during my study period.

“The thing that I love about this program is that I get to meet new people and understand other values, cultures and can gain knowledge about how to support those who need care.”

Studying at Anderson changed my life a lot and can help me advance in my career. The certificate provided by this college and the memories that I earn would be a key to my success. The thing that I love about this program is that I get to meet new people and understand other values, cultures and can gain knowledge about how to support those who need care. This attracts me more towards this program.

The Anderson community is really cooperative, helpful and has your back. The lifestyle improves a lot as we learn how to manage our time. “Never miss an opportunity if it comes to you by itself”, is the only advise that I can give to other students and myself as well.
