Celebrating 40 Years in Durham - Simone Barnard, Class of 2004

When my daughter was about to start junior kindergarten I realized I had better get an education so that I could support her on my own. I applied to Trent, and I can honestly say it was the best thing I ever did. Within my first year there, thanks to the support of staff, I had officially been diagnosed with a learning disability. The support I received from the disability office still warms my heart today! After four years, I successfully graduated with a B.A. in history and half a credit short of a minor in anthropology
 
When I reflect on my days at Trent University Durham, I can honestly say they were some of my happiest days ever! The large majority of my professors were lovely, and the staff was always helpful and friendly. My mind was awakened and my confidence great as, I for the first time ever, achieved something great!
 
I am now married and my daughter is almost 15 hears old and in Grade 10. I run my own company and I am slowly working towards my master’s degree in clinical counseling. I work with single moms, encouraging them to better themselves.

I look forward to a bright future, building on the educational foundation I received at Trent. ​
