Episode 1
When you measure student success, and it's easy to get lost in the numbers—exam pass/fail rates, diploma completion, acceptance ratios.
It's important to remember the people behind the numbers though. This is an interview with Anna Do, a former student who graduated from the Canadian International School in Vietnam in 2019. Today, Anna's a graduate student pursuing her M.Sc in Health Sciences at Wilfred Laurier University.
In this episode, we talk about the importance of perseverance even when you're not 100% clear about the outcome, adjusting to grad school, beating imposter syndrome, and finding your pathway.
