"I decided to be a part of Future Of to help those students who face the uncertainty of choosing a profession. Often, the environment we are brought up in isolates us from the variety of different career paths that are available. I believe all students should get an equal chance of being educated on every career path and finding one that suits themselves. As a member of this team, I can provide students with that opportunity by giving them resources to better navigate through the difficulties and uncertainty of picking a career."

"Making major life decisions such as which university program choose, which future career paths to consider can be a very daunting task, especially if one does not have access to the right resources and support. When I started my post secondary journey, I faced many challenges in figuring out how I should structure my undergraduate courses to keep my options open and prevent limiting myself for only a handful of future career options. I joined FutureOf so I can be a part of an organization and help provide guidance and support for undergraduate students, to make life a little less daunting."

"I joined this club because I wanted to help inform undergraduate students about the different opportunities available after university or college. High school students transitioning into a post-secondary environment are pressured into deciding what they want to pursue after their educational career. To help with this common issue, I joined Future Of. I remember talking with my high school guidance counsellor, wondering what I would do after and during university. After deciding what path I would follow, I felt a sense of relief and motivation. There are still students that are contemplating which career to go into. As an executive of Future Of, I want to inform students about different pathways available to help make their decisions easier."
"As someone who struggled in figuring out what I wanted to pursue, I wanted to help others who are also struggling by informing them about all the possibilities they have. By joining Future Of, I am able to provide others with the information they need about their futures and lend a helping hand."
