Story

by Mike L.

Hi, my name is Mike.

I left school early to support my family. My wife saw the PWC ad in an OC Transpo bus.

I like the people who work with me, my tutor and Jennifer. I’m learning to use the computer and slowly learning reading, spelling, and writing. My wife says that PWC is the best thing that has happened to me. I think so too!
