TESTIMONIAL
TESTIMONIAL
"Anxiety was what I felt when I heard the words essay and math, until my first semester in the Career and College Transition program at Centennial College. The instructors were excellent! They helped me every step of the way because they wanted me to succeed. After completing English, I was able to write an essay for the Eileen Atkinson Memorial Scholarship and received it. While I do have a long way to go for my program of choice, I am confident in new found skills that I will get there"
