“In 2016, I had just barely wrapped up my first year at the university of waterloo. I chose to attend this university for a lot of its selling points about their co-operative programs seeing that the two other universities I was accepted into did not have the same opportunities for my program. BUT another reason I chose waterloo because it was the furthest from my home. And it was important for me to go to a school that was far away from home because home is where a lot of traumatic events in my childhood took place starting as early as 4 years old.” - Tiara
