Learning the Law, Building a Career, Adjusting to Life in Canada – Lana’s 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.

I arrived in a completely foreign city, in Toronto, to start a new life and take on new challenges. I do not like stagnation and have always strived for self-development. Considering that I have ten years of professional experience, my goal in coming to Canada was to develop my profession. I researched information about Anderson College through social media.
“There was such a positive charge from the administration that I was anxiously waiting to start studying; I expected this momentum to continue.”
One of the reasons I chose to pursue my Law Clerk studies with this college was because the administration provided amazing attention. I always prefer communication. There was such a positive charge from the administration that I was anxiously waiting to start studying; I expected this momentum to continue. The expectation was justified and continues to this day.
I have only been studying at Anderson College for four months but feel like I have been studying and getting to know this college for years. Anderson College is helping me to study Canadian law, and I believe it will help me to start a new career in Canada.
“This is where I will improve my law skills, increase my awareness of Canadian life, and get the best advice.”
It is essential that my study schedule at Anderson is flexible and allows me to develop myself to the fullest. In parallel with the development of my profession, I am working on improving my English language skills. The challenges associated with studying make it more interesting, and hard work helps me achieve my goal.
Anderson College is fully responsive to today’s challenges. In particular, it allows for online learning, which helps me to learn in various situations, even while traveling. This is where I will improve my law skills, increase my awareness of Canadian life, and get the best advice. Most importantly, Anderson College helps me adjust; every day begins and ends with a positive attitude.
