My thoughts for the future began to wander toward criminology or law school. I was fascinated by the study of people, our lives and behaviours and culture. I’ve never considered myself to be a remotely religious person, but I suddenly found myself drawn to Christian theology courses taught from a sociological perspective. There were plenty of surprises along the way: it turned out I didn’t enjoy university-level English very much but loved nearly every course I took in the social sciences. Ten years later, I was (conditionally) accepted into the University of Glasgow’s Museum Studies taught Master’s program.Īs if it were that simple - a straight line from point A to point B, a dream and a plan to bring it to fruition. I wanted to travel across the ocean to a place steeped in history and scholasticism. At about 12 years old, I had begun to answer the commonly-asked question, “So, what do you want to be when you grow up?” with a tentative but ambitious goal: I would pursue my Bachelor’s degree (probably in English, because that was my favourite subject in school) here in Canada - hopefully not too far from home - before moving away somewhere fascinatingly different to the small town that was all I had ever known.
