*“Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step”* Lao-Tzu.

It is quite difficult to put into words the love that I have developed for Canada and its people. Coming to ILSC was an extraordinary experience that surpassed all expectations.

It was much more than improving my English skills. This was my opportunity to reinvent myself, connecting with different people from all over the world and changing my perspective on life.

Here, I had the chance to live a life that it will always be worth to remember. This magical and spellbinding country gave me the privilege to dream a new dream and to start living it.
