1. Having raised a strong, humble, responsible and most of all, God-fearing daughter. 

2. Having the opportunity to assist people achieve their dreams of reuniting with their families and establishing themselves in Canada. 

3. Being able to serve / volunteer in my community because I have always believed that volunteerism is an important way to keep our communities strong. I always teach my daughter and other young Albertans the importance of community service because it teaches them compassion and understanding and allows them to leave their mark on their communities.
