When Daliso came to Ottawa from Lusaka she still remembers the warm welcome she felt. Not only was it friendlier, but it was cheaper too. “It’s a city you have to get to know,” she says. “In Ottawa, you can walk to places. Everything is within reach.” She still doesn’t like winter very much, but that’s just because it is so much warmer back home in Zambia. Daliso had given the UK a try before that. “I was miserable in Birmingham,” she says. “It was rainy and grey every day.” She now lives here with her cousin. Her brother will join her in January, 2012.
Daliso graduated from the Springfield Coaching Centre after attending Rhodes Park High School. “My life began at 17 when I moved to the UK”. She thinks that many Zambian students want to experience the world, and studying abroad is a great opportunity. Daliso is taking the 3-year advance diploma in Business Administration with an emphasis on International Business. Her plan is to finish her degree at the University of Ottawa next year after she graduates from Algonquin.
“Education is a priority in Zambia” and she’s happy she chose college education to start. “I wouldn’t have been able to handle the work load and pressure at university…. It would’ve been a lot harder.” She thinks the small classroom environment at Algonquin is great to help students succeed. Her favorite professor is Mr. Norman Hotchkiss.
The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one's own country as a foreign land. Cheap Flights to Lusaka
