Praise’s Bold Decision Leads to a Thriving Business Admin Career

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.

Anderson college changed my life by giving me opportunities to learn and grow. The pandemic hit me hard. During the time of the Corona virus, I was working full time as an inside sales representative at one of the biggest produce companies in Ontario. But issues arose with the schedule of my school-aged son, and it came to a point where I had to guide him through his online schooling. I quit my job without hesitation and enrolled in Anderson College’s Business Administration program. I had the mindset that it would bring about change and success, and I got ready to explore a new career path.

“Anderson’s online courses gave me a smooth avenue for learning and made it possible.”

I believe in R’Bonney Gabriel’s (former Miss Universe’s) favourite quote by Hillel, “If not now, when?” If I didn’t decide to go back and educate myself now, then when? This thought had a lot of impact on me and instills in me the desire to never stop.

I have a son, and so, while studying myself, I also juggled everything to guide him with his schooling as well.
Anderson’s online courses gave me a smooth avenue for learning and made it possible. Having my teacher, Eric, who understood me and listened, was a bonus. My husband was our number one supporter too during this “pandemic era”. He was there to listen and encourage me, especially during my lowest point when I received the news from back home that my sister passed away while I was in the middle of my program.
There were moments of crying and mourning; an experience that tested me and caused me to consider whether I should continue or not.

“Now I work as a production coordinator/admin assistant. I am proud to say that I am a graduate of Anderson College, North York.”

Business administration is a diverse program. Anderson College helped me advance my career because I gained more intellectual knowledge to bring to the table, and confidence. Now I work as a production coordinator/admin assistant. I am proud to say that I am a graduate of Anderson College, North York. It was the best decision I have ever made in my entire life, to continue learning through school and life itself.
Anderson College made me realize how essential it is to never stop believing, and to continue to strive for the best. Part of the mission of the college is to give their students a good future and I received that.

Anderson College is a home for learning, providing excellence in instruction, empowering students to build the strength of character to go on. I believe that knowledge is power, and personal power brings a lot to our lives. I applaud Anderson College.
