My time in Canada was very well spent.

Canada quickly became a second home
where I met many great people that I will
never forget. Teachers at KGIC became like
big brothers and sisters who not only taught
me English but also were a huge influence in
my development as a woman. I will leave this
place with a sense of pride that I not only
learned English, but crossed boarders; not
only physically but mentally and emotionally
as well.
