I&#8217;m from a small town in the state of Punjab, and I moved to Canada\u00a0in April&#8217;18. I started my MA Lead in May, and this is my fourth course in the program. Before starting this program I had just completed my Bachelors in Dental Surgery, and I&#8217;m still a registered dentist back in India, but I&#8217;ve decided to shift my career course to business and have left dentistry.<\/p>\n<p>In my family, I have my mother and father who are back in India and my elder brother who lives in Toronto, and I&#8217;m very close to all of them. I have learned the best lessons from my mother; she is in a real sense, my hero. She is the softest-strongest person I have ever come across, and I continuously try to be more like her because for me she defines perfection. I&#8217;m born into a Sikh family, so I follow the religion of Sikhism, but I firmly believe God is one. If I had to pick one practice to live by it will be practicing gratitude. Writing in my gratitude journal has dramatically changed my life. I&#8217;m a very happy, full of energy, eager to learn kind of a person. You will mostly see me smiling or eating (as I have an undeniable love for food).<\/p>\n<p>As I mentioned earlier, I just switched my career path so everything I&#8217;m learning\u00a0in the course is very new to me and I&#8217;m excited to learn more about it. A part of me is always scared and worried\u00a0that if this was the right decision or how will I make it work but my faith is greater then my fears, and this is what keeps me going. Also, there are many familiar faces in this course from 502, and a big hug to all of you and Hi to the new faces and I cannot wait to learn and grow with you all.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-210\" src=\"http:\/\/create.twu.ca\/shaaz\/files\/2018\/09\/IMG_4618-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"656\" srcset=\"https:\/\/create.twu.ca\/shaaz\/files\/2018\/09\/IMG_4618-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/create.twu.ca\/shaaz\/files\/2018\/09\/IMG_4618-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/create.twu.ca\/shaaz\/files\/2018\/09\/IMG_4618-768x960.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi everyone!
