Patty D., Personal Support Worker Graduate

“Last September I made a really difficult choice and decided to go back to school at 40 yrs old, never would I have thought I would be making that decision but I did! I had signed up with another second career college in my city and was given the run around for three months from the start of classes, I finally decided to just give up, maybe this wasn't in the cards for me, and maybe not meant to be. Just when I thought my career choice was over, a PTC ad came up on Facebook and was advertising the PSW program that would be starting in a months time. When I spoke to this women on the phone and she reassured me that I could get into the upcoming course I was over the moon with excitement, that was the beginning of the best six months of my life. I met the most amazing people that I love so much, I was taught so much about being a PSW and I learned a lot about myself, and that voice that answered my call that day was Kathie who was the most inspiring teacher, she was not only a great teacher she has become a life long friend along with everyone else I hold dear to my heart. As of October 2018, I am a graduate of PTC Thunder Bay, I have both a full-time and a casual position as a PSW, and I am doing what I love to do. Thank you for changing my life!”
