My degree from The University of British Columbia (UBC) in my terms means the world to me. It’s something that was really hard to do, I completed it, and I was awarded a Bachelor of Science for my hard work. To me this degree means perseverance and something tangible that I can use in my teaching career as a background in the sciences as well as mathematics, sociology, computer systems, and much more. During my education, I have strived to capture as much knowledge that I can by taking courses that interest me including botany, anatomy, chemistry, physics, calculus, algebra, English literature, philosophy, soils, dendrology, astronomy, earth science, English composition, forestry management, computer science, and statistics. I endeavor to continue learning and educating myself throughout my life. I will never stop. An education is something that cannot be taken away from you and an educated person is one that can critically think about the world around them.
