Paola Fernanda Borba

I started studying French in October, 2013 when I was still living in Brazil because of my plan to immigrate to Quebec. However, I fell in love with the language and even though I ended up moving to Vancouver two years ago, where French is not widely spoken, I decided to continue studying this beautiful language. I’m sincerely grateful for having my dedication to French studies recognized. Receiving the French Faculty Scholarship makes it all worthwhile, it motivates me to continue to work hard and assures me that all my efforts will pay off. I greatly appreciate the encouragement and the opportunity provided by my French instructor, Mademoiselle Mirabelle Tinio.
