 * I have been associated with teaching for the past eight years.Since I was in high school, I was very keen to teach and was tutoring the students of lower grades. Regarding my qualifications, I have done Master of Arts (English), Master of Education and Ph.D. in the faculty of education. Before coming to Canada, I was working as a lecturer in a teacher training college in my home country i.e. India. Now I am doing PIDP so as to get first hand information of the Canadian education system so that I can carry on my own profession of teaching. I am also volunteering in ELSA classes conducted by Diversecity Community Resource Centre Surrey, Canada. **=====

 * As well as my regular support staff responsibilities, I've participated in various continuing education courses and has worked as clinical staff member for the National Board Examining Board for Canada since 2008. Taking the PIDP course at Vancouver Community College has been a great experience. I like the exposure to creativity my fellow classmates have produced.

====** I am a nurse and nurse educator. It is notable that "Motivation" is a theme in all arenas of our lives, whether it be at school, financially, or in terms of our physical and mental health. My interests include traveling, healthcare, learning new languages, jazz and classical music, and enhancing my instructional knowledge by enrolling in the Provincial Instructor Diploma Program at Vancouver Community College ([|PIDP at VCC]). I also have worked as an ESL instructor near Tokyo, Japan, and in Vancouver. The Japanese expression //"ganbaru"// represents the feeling of //"I can do this!//", and enthusiasm to succeed at something... a feeling of motivation and confidence intertwined. **====
