Simone Desjardins

If I had to use one word to describe my time at Laurentian it would be empowering. To me, there is no better sense of pride than working all night on a paper, only to get your marks back and seeing that all of your stress was worth it in the end. As a Concurrent Education student, there are many long nights of studying, lesson planning, and note taking - and I wouldn’t change a thing!

I enjoy so many things about being a Con-Ed student. My favourite thing would be the placements I got to be a part of during my years here. To be able to teach is such a blessing, and seeing the look on a student’s face when they finally understand a concept is truly life changing. These placements have been unique experiences that I was lucky enough to be a part of for each year of my program!

I would recommend the Concurrent Education program to anyone who has a passion for teaching, and for connecting with students. Many people don’t realize that a Bachelor of Education is not just for prospective teachers, there are dozens of different careers that a B.Ed would help you achieve. This program, I’m proud to say, has opened my eyes and made me a much better person. I can’t wait to begin my career!
