My name is Ivette Torres, I'm from Mexico, city. When I heard about RCIIS I thought "this is a good opportunity to practise my English"... but when I was in Canada for the first time, I saw myself in the middle of a new environment, different cultures, different peoples and different styles of life. So at first I was afraid to speak, I don't know why, I was so shy and quiet even at the school. The course was finished 2 months later and I made some friends and I started to feel a little comfortable. Then when I started to do my internship in Steam Whistle, I never imagine that I would find good friends who cares about me.
In that place I did a little bit of everything, a few days I worked in the office, the quiet place. Another days I worked in the production line and another days I worked at retail store. In every area I had some opportunities to practise my English and I wasn't afraid to speak anymore or to make a mistake or something like that. I really enjoyed the time in that place, I'm so happy and Definitely this is the BEST experience of my life, I'm not going to forget this, never!! Thank you, RCIIS!
