Hello from Waterloo! My name is Deborah …
Hello from Waterloo!
My name is Deborah and this is my seventh MET course. Like many of you, I’m also taking another course, ETEC530 this summer as well. I think it’s going to be quite busy!
I am Program Head of Business and Co-op at a high school in Waterloo, Ontario. I am completing my fifth year of teaching after having worked as a CA in the corporate world for 16 years.
I’m taking this course because I thought it would be fun to explore the creative side of my brain since I’m more of a numbers person. I’m hoping to be able to apply some of my previous business experience too.
On a personal note, I’m the proud parent of a 17 year-old daughter who received early admission and started university in January. I’m also a huge Disney fan and my second home is my own little piece of the magic that I own on Disney property.
I’m looking forward to working with you this term!
Deborah

Hi Deborah,
Congratulations to your daughter. How wonderful.
This course sounds like a great match for your existing talents and an avenue for you to spread your creative wings as well.

Great to see you again, Deborah, and congrats to your daughter! I recall your proud mom moments from previous semesters. 🙂 Now on the Disney thing, the pic is a sign you got from Disney?

Hi Danielle,
Believe it or not, the picture is actually a carpet at the entrance of our Disney Vacation Club villa building of which we own a very small piece. It’s actually a time share without all the restrictions of a regular time share; we work on allotted points not on weeks which means we have flexibility on when we can travel.

Hi Deborah,
What a big switch in jobs you made! I bet the students appreciate learning from your experience. Business is a fascinating field to study. I took three courses in Admin during my undergrad and loved every minute of it.
