It has been my pleasure studying at BCIT. All the courses I have taken so far, have introduced me to a different world, called Business. It used to be a different world, because I never studied Business before.

My name is Cayla Lee, and I am from South Korea. I lived in Seoul before attending BCIT. I started the Business Management Studies program at BCIT in summer of 1998. I chose BCIT for several reasons. When I was working as a tour guide for a short period time in Korea, I often flew to Vancouver with my group of travelers. Vancouver became a very familiar city to me as I guided the travelers from South Korea.

When I was still living in Korea, I lived with my parents and my brother. I also have a sister who has been studying in Vancouver prior to my arrival. My life was fairly easy for me living in Korea. However, I gave that up to come here to study at BCIT. Some of you might wonder why I gave up the easy life. Well, the reason is that I really wanted to study Business, but it was really hard to find a school like BCIT. I was looking for a business school with a good reputation and good teaching in practical skills used in business. After long time of searching for a school, I finally found one, BCIT.

Since the beginning of studying at BCIT, I have been living with a Canadian family whom I have known for ten years. I got to know them when I was attending a high school in Vancouver few years ago for a short period of time. The family and I still remain very close. I think I will always value the friendship we have, anywhere I would live in the future.

I truly enjoy studying at BCIT. However, I would really like to say that BCIT is not an easy place to study. So anybody who wants to study at BCIT, MUST BE PREPARED BEFORE ATTENDING!
