Did you enjoy the video that I posted in my last submission? Anyways it’s that time of year on campus, when students start coming out of the “wood work”. I have not seen some of my friends since April. It is always a pleasure to see friends continuing into another year of personal achievements. At this time the line-ups start at the Registars Office, because students are concerned about their funding and other issues that occur.

In terms of funding, sponsorship, etc., it is important that students apply early. I usually do my sponsorship letter in February, just my foot remains in the door. I registered this past week and you should of seen the numbers in the screening in the course lists. For instance, how many seats are available, seats filled, and the course slots that remained. I had some major running around to do between the Health Careers Access Programs and the Faculty of Science, I must of made a few trips within a couple of hours that day. As I raced back to the computer, I noticed that some of slots I was trying to register in were filled. “No, no, no,” but of course I managed to find another time slot that was more suitable to my schedule.

As we persevere towards our ultimate goal, in return our hardwork work does have its rewards. My friends told me to apply for the Business Council Bursary Award in February. I was not interested. As the deadline drew closer, my friends kept asking me if I had applied. I thought you had to be in the “Business” to apply. As my friends persisted in asking me again, I said, “You know what, I’ll do it….I’ll apply.” As it turns out, I just received notice a couple weeks ago that I qualify. Also for the past 9 years, Ka Ni Kanichihk Inc., continues to honour and recognise grandmothers for their exceptional work within the community. I was invited to attend this memorable moment and it was such an honour and an emotional event. I was not only moved by Don Burnstick’s jokes, but also by the grandmothers’ stories. The one word that was significant in their stories, besides strength and passion, was LOVE.
