Rising Above Challenges: Nelson’s Story

October 29th, 2025

 

For Nelson, choosing the right college meant finding a place that truly believed in its students and their potential. When he discovered Eastern College’s Personal Support Worker (PSW) program, he knew it was the right choice for him.

“I chose Eastern College because of its unique dedication to student excellence, career focus, and a proven pathway to success in their field,”

Throughout his time, Nelson worked hard to achieve his goals and make the most of every opportunity. His experience was both rewarding and challenging, but it was through those challenges that he discovered the true meaning of support and perseverance.

“I had a really tough moment during my studies, but the campus director, Mrs. Chris Kantor, was very compassionate and understanding. That support really gave me the chance to rise and shine above my circumstances. Thanks to our wonderful instructors and staff.”

With encouragement from his instructors, staff, and classmates, he completed the program with pride and gratitude. Nelson’s story reminds us that even in difficult times, the right support can make all the difference.
