Upon immigration, Laura’s father opened a small grocery store as a business venture, while her mother enrolled in an English Language Learning (ELL) program to advance her oral English skills. After spending 1 year in the ELL program, Lauraʼs mother enrolled in a pharmacy technician program at college for 2 years before she started working at a local pharmacy.

Laura’s schooling in Canada (grades 8–12). Upon arriving in Canada, Laura enrolled in an elementary Catholic school for grade 8. She knew grammar rules pretty well; as Laura put it,That was all we were taught in terms of English as a second language, in school back in Syria … but I couldn’t speak the language as much. I would understand but have difficulties expressing myself. … I’m naturally a very outgoing person, so I’d try to speak in English anyway, even if I made mistakes.
