Meet Mia, a resilient 22-year-old social development student at the University of Waterloo. After facing significant challenges in her high school years, including a tumultuous relationship and her mother's hospitalization, Mia fought her way back to academic success by repeating courses and enrolling in Humber College. Now, she’s determined to make a difference in the world through her studies in social work. While she cherishes her hard-earned progress, Mia often feels out of place among her peers, whose privileged lifestyles starkly contrast her own gritty journey. She finds solace in her studies and is fiercely proud of her achievements, using her experiences to inspire others facing similar hardships.
