Nipissing University: I attended Nipissing University from 2004-2008, in conjunction with attending Laurier. I had many great experiences at Nipissing, including 6 different practicum environments teaching students from grades 5 - 11. My practicum experiences also included a three-week practicum in Italy, teaching English as a second language to students from Kindergarten to grade 5.

The time in Italy was spent in a town called L'Aquila, the same town that in recent months (winter 2009) experienced earthquakes that did massive damage to the town and surrounding areas, and killed many people.
