FYS Success Story!
Greetings from Saint Pierre!
My name is Deirdre Guillemette and I am
currently studying French through Memorial
University’s Frecker Program at the Francoforum
in Saint Pierre. Last year I began my post secondary
studies by enrolling in MUN’s First Year Success
Program. This provided me with a great overview
on the university, my career options and guidance
for my academic goals. I appreciated all the
assistance given to me by professors and advisors.
It really helped me decide where I wanted to go
with my studies and a plan on how to get there!

In addition to my 5 courses, the Frecker Program
keeps me very busy. I've visited L’Ile aux Marins
and Miquelon, been to the museum, played sports
and been on fishing and hiking trips. There are a lot
of small stores here but things are often expensive.
I live with a host family and with two other
students. Speaking French in and out of class time
is really beneficial to my goal of teaching French.
Thanks First Year Success Program!
