In UFV Speaks, our intrepid reporters pick a topic currently relevant to UFV students or staff, and ask them for their heated opinions to get a real sense of how the UFV population feels about the facts.
Planning for the future can be a huge undertaking for some, especially when it relates to life goals, milestones, and aspirations. As university students, we are in the face of adulthood and are about to go out into the world and live our lives as such. Every student has their dreams for life further down the road, and for this edition of UFV Speaks, we’ll explore the question: “Do UFV students want children in the future?”
~~Mckenna Farlin, General Studies:~~ “Yes, I’d like to have kids one day. Once I graduate with a degree and can provide them with a good future, that is.”
~~Josh Stephens, Sciences:~~ “It seems like an appealing idea to raise a family.”
~~Aleena Aleena, Associate of Science:~~ “Yes, definitely. I want to have a baby girl. Having a child is the most beautiful feeling in the world. To have a little kid come and call you “Hi mamma!” is amazing.”
~~Divyansh Manrao, Bachelor of Business Administration:~~ “One hundred percent yes. The first reason would be, if I had kids with a spouse, it’s a way to kind of look back at how you were back then, and that’s something to cherish. Secondly, it helps with responsibility. You need that to raise a family, and also you learn a lot of patience from it.”
~~Samarja Sandhu, Bachelor of Business Administration:~~ “If I had to, I would adopt. That way I can save the stress of having to care for a pregnant lady.”
~~Kyle Howden, Bachelor of Business Administration:~~ “Definitely, maybe in like 10 years or something. I want to be financially secure before I have kids, and that would give me time to have a job and prepare for all of that.”
