“As a kid, it was easy for me to make friends,” says first year Laurier Student Tiffany Warford, with little revelation. This is because Tiffany moved so often as a child that by the time she entered high school, she was leaving her eighth middle school.

Born July 17^th, 1990 in St. John’s Newfoundland, Tiffany was only four when her family moved to Brampton, Ontario. Today she is living on her own for the first time on residence at Wilfrid Laurier University in Brantford as she begins her studies in Journalism and English.

Living in a new city is anything but an alien experience for Tiffany, however, with her family always seeming to be on the move. They were, “looking for the right house, one we could call our home.” Eventually the Warfords settled down, but Tiffany looks back on the experience with mixed emotions.

“I enjoyed it at the time, but as I look back, I never really formed long lasting relationships.” On the other hand however, she says the experience, “improved my social skills,” and ultimately, “made me who I am today.”

In high school Tiffany had a passion for playing field hockey, but when her knee broke causing years of surgeries and complications, she had to content herself with less physical forms of leisure. These include going to see bands at local shows, setting out on expeditions to Toronto malls with friends, and hanging out with friends at the movies.

Regarding Tiffany’s future, it can be said to be anything but fated. She plans to perhaps attend teachers college after graduating from Laurier Brantford to become a high school teacher, as opposed to an elementary student, because she’d, “rather have someone to relate to than to babysit.” She leaves all doors open, though, feeling she would be satisfied being an editor, for example.

One thing is certain however, and that is whatever she ends up doing, it will be for the love of the job, not for a love of money. “I’d rather enjoy my job and want to go to work than to just make lots of money.”

She is no stranger to change.
