Did you overcome any struggles to get to University? If so, please describe as much as you are comfortable

Overcame many instances of racial discrimination and inequality. Many people are not aware because most of it happens behind closed doors or when others aren’t around.                 

What are some of the best things you learned during your time at the Faculty of Arts?

Best thing I learned was to enjoy the university experience, and hand assignments in on time haha         

Do you have any advice to share with new or prospective students?

Don’t be afraid to get your feet wet! Make new friends and try new things! It’s a great atmosphere with great people who support you!        

Anything else to add?

If you believe you have athletic ability, try out varsity athletics! It doesn’t hurt to try!          

What are your plans for the future?

What I want to do most is give back to my First Nations community who sponsored my post-secondary education. I also want to be able to help people, through Law or becoming a teacher. Helping others grow to reach their potential. 

All the best, James!  And congratulations!
