why i joined youth advancement society
I joined Youth Advancement Society (YAS) after Bishop McNally High School was visited by them. I remember talking to Josie (also a YAS member) about the Education degree at University of Calgary and I was immediately sold. YAS helped me transition from a high school mindset to a university mindset! I want to help as many students as I can, just as this program has helped and supported me.
why i joined MY PROGRAM
Throughout my educational career, I've had a lot of teachers who I could tell, didnt love their jobs. I have faint memories of dreading some teachers because of how strict and stern they were. There was no love in their practice and it showed. In high school, I was blessed to have some really phenomenal teachers. It really does make a difference in a student's life when the teacher is actually dedicated to their job. I want to be that one teacher that lets students know that someone actually cares about their well-being, rather than just their academic success.

MY BEST TIPS & ADVICE FOR STUDENTS

Stay organized.

Late submissions is sometimes better. Handing things late is better than giving "okay" effort.
