"The College and the courses here have helped me to be so positive about my life, and my future. I feel like I'm worth something now," said Worm.
Worm will be one of many students presenting her work at the A Life in Progress Student Showcase scheduled to take place March 21st from 6 - 9 p.m. in the Centre for Learning Atrium at the Kelowna Campus. Students, staff and community members are invited to attend.
