READING

I have got to get one of these bookshelves!

Playing computer games...

And I am an avid Riders fan – even when they lose…

I received a Hotel & Restaurant Administration Diploma in 1987 and took my first job away from home…

Chateau Lake Louise, Banff National Park

I found I was in Calgary at least twice a month to get away from the mountains…

You can take the boy out of the prairie but…

However, I soon found out that…

Hotel Business + Introvert = Road to Nowhere

So, in some reasoning that made sense at the time, I went to the University of Saskatchewan and graduated with a B.Ed in 1993

I started my adult education career in 1995 teaching computer application skills, and moved on to

Adult Basic Education

In 2002, I married my dream mate (we met on Dreammates.com)

and moved to her hometown of Regina, Saskatchewan.

I have travelled to a few places around the world…

Paris

Disney World Las Vegas

Mexico

Hawaii

But my favourite trips were to:

We adopted our two girls in Xi’an and Chongqing

Great Wall

Chongqing Zoo

Terra Cotta WarriorsXi’an

In 2005, I began the loooong road to achieving my Master’s degree in Adult Education at the U of R.

8 classes completed

2 classes ongoing

1 class to go….

Which brings us to today….

1 Brain

Feeling very full…

“Professor Couros, may I be excused? My Brain is full”

Thanks for watching!
