I’d like to use this blog space as a way to give people the inside scoop on what’s happening at Booth College. Hopefully you’ll get a new perspective and an inside look at life here. Since I’m going to be writing these blogs, I decided that I should introduce myself in this first one. 

My name is Michelle. I’m 19 and I’ve lived in Winnipeg all my life. I grew up playing at the park down the street from my house and getting into all of the shenanigans that children tend to get into. I found Jesus when I was 17 and ever since then he has been my best friend. Eastview Community Church is my home church and I teach Sunday school there to a class of energetic kindergarten kids, whom I adore. 

Other than hanging out with five-year-olds, there are many things that I like to do with my spare time. My friends and family are a big part of my life and I love to spend as much time with them as I can. We go to local shows together and can often be seen hanging out in coffee shops all over the city. I like to knit, read, play with my dog and do all sorts of other things. During the school year, however, I focus most of my attention on my studies. 

I am in my second year of the Social Work program at here Booth College and I am pretty excited about that. I want to become a social worker because helping people is my life passion, and I want to do this as a career. I decided to go to Booth to obtain my bachelor’s degree because of the spiritual aspect of the college. I thought that it would be a really great experience to go deeper into Scripture and into my spiritual life while working towards a bachelors degree in social work. 

I look forward to telling you more about life at Booth College!
