SMART GOAL 1
SMART GOAL 1
This was the first time throughout all of my different placements that I was in a class where they did some life skills activities. I am not going to lie, this goal was fun!. Every day I supported the students in the classroom whenever they had to complete Life Skills Bins. From sorting band-aids to take them to each classroom in the school, to pairing socks and sorting cutlery. Some other days I supported them when we had activities like cooking, doing laundry, shredding paper, and by going shopping to the convenience store.
SMART GOAL 2
SMART GOAL 2
When I had this goal in mind, I knew I wanted to create deeper connections with the students, something I felt I was missing from my last two placements because I never got to spend enough time with any student to build a good relationship with them.
I advocated for myself and I had the opportunity to do my 3rd placement in the STC (structured teaching classroom) and although I know this goal might be hard to prove, I am a 100% sure I succeed.
The STC teacher and EAs were so welcoming and helpful, and each week I felt like I fitted right in there. The students took me in and were happy to see me every week, and I was happy to see them too. My days in that classroom were awesome and my last day was bittersweet. I am grateful for the trust, support, knowledge and love the staff and kids showed me throughout my 10 weeks of placement.

MY TIME AT SHERIDAN COLLEGE
MY TIME AT SHERIDAN COLLEGE
When I decided to enroll in a post-secondary program I was so excited, but nervous at the same time. I did not know what to expect from the program and I was also concerned about my abilities to complete a full-time program in a different language and in a different county for the first time.
To be honest, the first couple of days I felt out of place because unlike a lot of my classmates, I did not have a first-hand experience with someone with a disability, I was just pursuing a new career, and I was excited to learn something new.
The first term felt easy, I was just adjusting to using SLATE and doing online courses, but it was not until the second term where we had to attend placement for the first time that I felt challenged. The challenge was not only to fulfil the expectations as a student, but also to start working in the field.
Being a full-time student and going to placement was very hard, but it made me realize I have good working qualities like organizing my time. Now that I look back at it, I feel so happy to say that I was able to always hand in my assignments on time, I was able to complete quizzes and tests within the time frame that was provided, and I was always able to take care of myself and my well-being. Although it was stressful at times, my time management skills played a huge part in my time at Sheridan and I am confident to say that whenever I face any challenges I can always count on myself to problem-solve.
The experiences I had at my placements and the things I learned from this program have been detrimental in my development as a better person. I think I was able to understand a lot of things about myself, and about the people that surround me.
I believe this program has turned me into a more empathetic and patient person, but it also reinforced other positive qualities I already had in myself.
Although there is still a lot to learn from, I feel so happy to complete this program, and I am grateful for the people I met, the friends I made, the teachers I learned from, and the experiences that I had.
