| Selena Allen: "In the evenings when the kids were in bed, I did homework." (Abriel photo) |
It脮s all about balance for Selena Allen. Selena decided to pursue a different career path, which led her to 黄色直播. Going back to school, working as a dental technician and managing a young family wasn脮t easy, but she more than met the challenge.
Born in Saint John, Selena completed the Transition Year Program (TYP) and received the Morris Saffron Prize for highest academic standing.
Returning to school took some creative time management for the busy mom. 脪As soon as I found a spare hour, I would find a quiet spot somewhere and do whatever work I could in that time. In the evenings when the kids were in bed, I did homework. And that脮s how I did it the whole year.鈥�
Now that hard work has paid off with a new-found confidence, and a new direction for her career.
脪When a friend first told me about the TYP program, I thought, well if I don脮t try I脮ll never know. And now, I脮ve discovered some new strengths, and I have more confidence in myself.鈥�
Selena plans to pursue a career in nursing. Selena shares the Morris Saffron Prize with other winners Amanda Skeir and Rufina Faeni.
