Becoming an aircraft mechanic is very important to me. I had two co-op placements with the Ministry of Natural Resources hangar at the Muskoka airport in High school which I enjoyed very much... I would very much like a career in this industry.

The importance of education does not always receive the appreciation it deserves and I can not express in words how honoured I am to be attending the University of Waterloo this year! ... I am looking forward to see what this year and the following years to come have in store for me.

I wanted to take the time to personally thank you for your generous contribution to my education. The gift of an education is the most valuable present a person can receive and so I am ever thankful for your generosity.

"I can’t express thanks enough to your foundation for supporting my daughter with your bursary gift. I wasn’t able to go to college myself and for my daughter to be able to go is my most proud moment as a parent... I know that with this chance she will give it her very best to succeed."
