Hello colleagues, I am Melanie J. Javier from the home of world-renowned natural wonders - the Philippines. I just recently got my visa approval which is why I ended up scheduling my flight for the end of July 2022.

I believe that education has no limits as long as we work hard for it. I really love studying and gaining more knowledge because it is a treasure that no one can take away from me. As a matter of fact, I also finished my master’s degree in Business Administration after obtaining my diploma course (Business Administration major in Financial Management) and I also took Teacher’s Certificate Program all in my home country. I started reflecting on my education and I think I can do it better; I can make a difference. This led me to make the decision to continue studying again. At first, I was afraid and scared because maybe I can’t finish it until the end, but I still look at the brighter side of it. And that’s when I decided to continue my international degree for some reasons. First, I realized that it is important to keep my mind active as I get older, and to continue learning new skills, and new knowledge on an on-going basis. Second, It’s for my own self-fulfillment and eagerness to learn more. It is nice to know that I’m doing something good for myself because sometimes we know what’s best for our life. And lastly, just like everyone, to transform better for my career someday.

Favorite quote: “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams”.

I’m excited to learn a lot from this subject. To enjoy this class and to have another set of friends. It’s my privilege to be part of this group. You can expect me to participate and cooperate in our class and do my best as much as I can. I hope to meet you all in person soon. Keep safe everyone! ❤

I am Precious Tallo, and I came from the second happiest country in Southeast Asia — the Philippines! It has already been 10 joyful days since I arrived in Canada last June 26, 2022.

I took a Bachelor of Science in Psychology at Cavite State University-Main Campus and graduated with Latin Honors last June 2018.

After graduation, I had 3 purposeful years working as an HR Assistant and was eventually promoted to HR Specialist in one of the well-known coffee brands in the Philippines. My journey as an HR practitioner made me realize that I need to pursue studying and have an extensive understanding of Human Resource Management. With this in mind, I aim to be a Human Resource Manager who has expertise in all the focus areas of Human Resources Management.

When I started studying in college way back in 2014, I read a book called The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. That is where I found the quotation of Myles Munroe that says, "The greatest tragedy in life is not death, but life without a purpose". This quotation struck both my heart and my mind really hard. From then on, it strongly influenced me to make the most out of my life by making it meaningful, joyful, and worthy!

Thank you and God bless us all!

Hello everyone!

I am Glenda Ballesteros, I came from a place where you can visit beautiful beaches and taste delicious fruits and foods — the Philippines. I’ve been in Canada since June 19, 2022. I studied Accounting Technology at the University of the East and graduated last December 2016. Now that I have the chance to study again, I chose Hospitality Management at Acsenda to pursue a different career which connects me to my passion for food, cooking, and meeting different people from different places as well. When I graduate, I plan to work in different establishments like hotels, restaurants or casinos to learn and equip myself on how they were able to survive, or on how they operate, because I want to have a hotel and restaurant someday.
The quote that keeps me going: “Always forward, never backward.”

Thank you for taking the time to read. God bless!
