I attended York university and lived at home where I was spoiled by my family and friends and I was able to concentrate on my studies. I was blessed to live close to the school where I met wonderful friends and colleagues. York allowed me the freedom to explore my education and focus on politics and the law. I took advantage of the support systems that were at the school at the time and I utilized the assistance of teachers and administrators for many of the academic choices I made.
