Norylyn’s Courage to Reset Leads to Med Lab Technician Career Success

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.

“Finding a job is a breeze,” said no one ever.
Immigrants, especially new immigrants, feel pressures in assimilating to Canadian culture and society, including the unfamiliar way of life and have difficulty finding employment. I am a new immigrant. I have experienced all the above-mentioned apprehensions. I was lost until Anderson College came my way, and I was totally reset.
“Being enrolled in the Medical Laboratory Technician/Assistant program is the best beginning.”
I contemplated the value of a life-and-career reset and looked toward that thing called a “dream career”. I have now gathered myself with the help of the accommodating staff, Miss Sandy, and Miss Jonah. Little by little I have moved forward toward my goals, with their gentle assistance and kindness. Furthermore, my husband’s and my children’s support enlightened me, and this made me more determined to take the BIG STEP. With Anderson College’s support I decided to upgrade my education and shift my career. I am leading myself now every step of the way and getting myself focused on that target. Anderson College gave me the boost that I needed, and I can confidently say that I am now braced for the coming endeavours.
“If you don’t go after what you want, you’ll never have it. Take a leap now at Anderson College.”
Being enrolled in the Medical Laboratory Technician/Assistant program is the best beginning. This is what I want and what I am passionate about. I am grateful that Anderson College offers programs that cater to individuals like me who need a career upgrade, in an accessible and approachable way while still upholding high academic standards. I am inspired and really looking forward to the future. I will be more likely to succeed in getting a job that perfectly fits me.

If you don’t go after what you want, you’ll never have it. Take a leap now at Anderson College. I am thankful and I am now ready to conquer the world.
Norylyn I.
