HOMEWORK CLUB STUDENT SPOTLIGHT!
|
|
|
|
We want to shine a light on some of our students who really knock our socks off! We'll be regularly highlighting a student who comes consistently to Homework Club and makes it the special place that it is!
This time around we bring you Haley!
Our hardworking Haley has won a scholarship to the Beedie School of Business at SFU, as did her classmates and fellow HWC members Masood Yousuf and Carmen Su!, and we are so proud of them all!
CONGRATULATIONS, HOMEWORK CLUBBERS!

Our Haley. A girl with the best 1970s style out there. Who wears her hair like early days Cher and rocks wide-legged jeans and fresh Nike’s like nobody’s business. Haley is always in a constant state of studying for something. On any given day, you can find her with headphones on, head ducked, hands frantically flying across the keyboard. Always with enough snacks to feed a small village and her favourite sparkling water that we started stocking just for her. She is a constant at Homework Club and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Haley was born in Vancouver and grew up in Burnaby. Her parents are still to this day her best friends, although she misses her grandmother dearly and she is the proud older sister of someone lovingly referred to as “Baby Wong.”
Having transferred to Britannia in Grade 10, she started coming to Homework Club because it was a safe space to do some work before basketball practice. Haley expressed that “it was also a huge bonus that there were in-person tutors and great snacks and resources available.” She loves the sense of community and motivation from peers and made a note to mention the sparkling water as well!
Haley will attend the Beedie School of Business at Simon Fraser University because it involves both hard and soft skills. She wants a versatile degree that won’t limit her career path and options for the future. She excited to meet new people, join lots of clubs (especially Scrabble), get accepted into a co-op program and play intramural basketball. Her best advice for upcoming grads is not to wait until the last minute. Begin things early no matter how much you think is on your plate. We’ll miss her dearly and can hardly wait for what the future holds!
