Student Comments

“Not completing high school really damaged my self esteem, and as the bridging program progressed I felt like I began to regain some pride that I’d lost. I’m doing really well these days, and I want to thank you. I’ve worked really hard to get to where I am and the bridging program, and having a wonderful, supportive teacher has helped me get to where I am.”

“Before this course I would not have considered going to University, and now I would.”

“The best thing I liked about the course was that it was an actual university setting, an actual course that you were doing… It was a small class, and a good professor … I envisioned myself partaking in university. To actually complete it was good because it showed it was possible for me to come to university… How I went about that course with studying and research, methods and writing style can still be applied now that I’m at university.”

“I think the Bridging Course is fantastic and I’d recommend it to anybody. It was just like a fairytale come true, when I heard about it and decided to go ahead with it.”

“The Bridging Course was a way for me to get back into the education system after 27 years away from it.”

“More than anything, it gave me the confidence that I could do well in university and accomplish it, because I was scared to death of going to university.”

“I feel I now have the necessary tools to tackle my first university course.”

“The fact that I could do it and get an A when I went in doubting if I could get a C, gave me confidence… The moment you gain confidence and the moment you trust yourself, other people do too. So many things happen.”

“I’m involved in my community and I see how much more I give now, than before I did the Bridging Program.”

“The Bridging Course helped me gain confidence in my job especially when speaking in public.  It also helped me improve my thinking and writing skills.  The writing skills I developed play a major role when I am taking minutes at meetings.  My time management skills also improved tremendously.”

“This course has helped my self-confidence. In fact, I have gotten a promotion since the beginning of the course and many new responsibilities.”
