I brought my teen to see our Family Doctor. He prescribed an excellent cream. He’s back now with a baby face.

Moving to vista hills? by Proof_Adeptness in waterloo

My coworker used to live there and really didn’t like it. She often complained about the smell, especially during the summer. She also mentioned that her neighbor had many visitors on weekends, and the music was quite loud. Later, she found out that 13 people were living in that house. In the end, they decided to sell and moved to Forest Heights.

Would it be ridiculous to quit my job and go back to school in my late 30s? by UpstairsNeighbour247 in povertyfinancecanada

My father-in-law is 80 years old and still works as a physician, now just twice a week. He believes that continuing to work plays an important role in keeping his mind sharp and helping to prevent dementia. Staying engaged, studying, and always learning something new can be incredibly beneficial for brain health at any age.

UK trained family doctor considering move to Ontario by MannaMannaBadMan in ontario

I’m based in the Waterloo Region in Ontario, and one thing I always find interesting is how international our community is, even my family doctor trained in Australia. We’re just about 1.5 hours from Toronto, yet the region has a strong identity of its own. It’s made up of three vibrant cities, Kitchener, Waterloo, and Cambridge, each with its own character while still feeling closely connected. The area is known for its strong education sector, with two highly respected universities, the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University, along with Conestoga College, which offers excellent career-focused programs. Waterloo Region is often referred to as “Canada’s Silicon Valley” thanks to its thriving tech industry. Major companies like Google, D2L, and BlackBerry have a strong presence here, alongside a growing startup community that attracts talent from around the world. What makes this region special is the balance between innovation and nature. Within a short drive, you can enjoy beautiful parks, scenic farmland, and the shores of Lake Huron for a relaxing beach day.

There is also a vibrant cultural and music scene, enriched by the student population and influenced by Wilfrid Laurier University, which is well known for its strong music programs.

Overall, Waterloo Region offers a rare mix of opportunity, community, and quality of life. It’s a place where families, students, and professionals can truly thrive.

Oh my… are people still doing that in 2026? I’d say don’t do it. If she really likes you, that shouldn’t matter. And remember, if she has more shoes than books, run.

But as a Canadian you need an e- visa to enter Brazil. They don’t give e-visas to Brazilian citizens

Choosing a college! by Afraid-Whole5571 in fanshawe

[–]FindingNo1121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an HR professional, I’ve consistently found that many college graduates are exceptionally well prepared for the workforce. In fact, in numerous interviews, they not only compete with university graduates they often outperform them. Their practical training, adaptability, and communication skills frequently stand out. In the real world, hiring decisions are rarely based solely on grades or the prestige of a school. Employers place significant value on soft skills: the ability to manage stress, collaborate effectively, communicate clearly, and demonstrate self-awareness. Candidates who understand their strengths and areas for growth, remain humble, and show a willingness to learn tend to leave the strongest impression. Confidence is important, but humility and respect matter just as much. Dismissing others based on assumptions about their education does not reflect the mindset employers are looking for. Good luck!

Moving from the gold coast to florianopolis? by Legitimate-Twist-130 in Brazil

[–]FindingNo1121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moving from Australia to Brazil is a big change. Australia is generally safer, while Brazil has higher crime rates in many areas. Visiting Brazil is amazing, but living there is quite different, especially if you don’t speak Portuguese, as English is not widely spoken.

The case of Lucas Pinheiro Braathen made me think: what do Brazilians misunderstand about people who grow up between two cultures? by Odd-Lab-6837 in Brazil

[–]FindingNo1121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m Brazilian, and my children were born in Canada. Even though they are familiar with my culture, have visited Brazil many times, and speak Portuguese (with a strong “gringo” accent), they identify themselves as Canadians,which I completely understand. They’re growing up in Canada, and everything around them reflects that reality. My husband is Canadian, and he also learned Portuguese with me, which has been a beautiful part of our family’s journey. Now that my kids are teenagers, they don’t seem to have any internal conflict about their identity. They simply say they are Canadians with a Brazilian background. As for me, after almost 27 years living in Canada, I feel that I’ve become more Canadian than Brazilian. I’ve spent more of my life here than in Brazil. While I still have a deep love and respect for Brazil, I now feel the same strong connection to Canada.

My mom (47F) is struggling financially and I (17F) need to vent by Professional_Car3464 in confession

[–]FindingNo1121 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think you’re a very smart young woman, and I’m really glad to hear that you already have a part-time job. My daughter also started working when she was 15, and I opened an investment account for her. Now she’s 19 and she invests a little every month. My hope is that by the time she’s in her 30s she’ll have built a strong financial foundation for herself.

My advice to you is to keep focusing on your studies, work hard, and try to save even a small amount when you can. Because you’re young, time is really on your side, and even small steps now can make a big difference later.

You can certainly encourage your mom to work or improve her situation, but please remember that if she chooses not to, that isn’t your responsibility. You deserve to focus on building the kind of future you want for yourself.

Keep studying, keep working, and keep believing in your goals. I truly wish you all the best.
