But what really gets his heart going is helping people with mental illness and addictions. This desire is what drew him to the Community Social Service Work program. A perfect fit for his caring personality, the program gave him the chance to apply his skills in a practicum placement at an after-school program. Once he graduates, he wants to work with children and seniors in a church setting. 

“I’ve always loved to help people, even a random person in the street,” Mikee says.

And if Mikee chooses to pursue a Bachelor of Social Work Degree, he’s in luck: He’s already completed the two core social work courses needed to get accepted at UBC and other universities, plus other credits that will transfer to the big U’s.
