I am not a "blogger" but will certainly give it a shot. I am creating this blog for the purposes of an Additional Qualification course I am taking at Brock U.
A little bit about me...
My name is Candice Clark. I am married to my wonderful husband Andrew and together we have beautiful beagle, named Lazarus, and a brown tabby, named Claude. No children as of yet as life has not yet taken us in that direction.
I went to Humber College and earned my Law Clerk Diploma in 2004. From there, I worked at a large Title Insurance company in Oakville for about 4 years. The recession hit in 2008 and I lost my job. Upon careful consideration and great support from my husband, I decided to return to school and get a degree. I went to U of Guelph and earned my honours BA, majoring in English. From there, I attended the Teacher Education program at Brock U and earned my BEd. I graduated this past spring. Now, I am like many other new teachers, I am unemployed and eager to get started in my teaching career.
For the past 11 years, I have been a member of the Canadian Armed Forces as a CIC Officer (Cadet Instructors Cadre). I currently hold the rank of Major and am the Commanding Officer of 758 Argus Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron in Brampton, Ontario. The cadet program is open to youth ages 12 - 18 and is the largest federally sponsoring youth program in the country. It is this program that instilled in me the dream of becoming a teacher.
This photo was taken June 2014, when I assumed command of the squadron. On the far right is the outgoing Commanding Officer, in the centre is our presiding officer, and on the left is me!
Apart from that, I have a ton of hobbies. I tend to get started on projects, only to get distracted by others. I love to read, scrapbook, crochet, and really anything crafty. If you can make it with your hands, I'll give it a try!
