,Wocker appreciative scholarship recipient By IRENE GENTLE The Champion The recently-graduated E.C. Drury High School student Jayde Wtôcker has a way with words. Il first bloomed through French immer- sion clases and blossomed when she tack- lIed German, Spanish, Italian and sign Ian- guage aa well. But figures can be problemnatic - partic- ularly the steep costa faced by students. T'hat's why tihe Frenchs major at Brock University is thrilled to have received the $3.000 Canada Millennium Scholarship fromn thse federal govemrment. Hers is one of 75,000 scholarships awarded, adding Up 10 $215 million in honour of 2000. And it's mightily appreciated by Ms Wocker. 'mi really excited about the scholar- ship," she said. "Il's veiy hard financially for students." She estimated bier tuition adds Up t0 about $3.500 a year. which se eamns by working hard during the summiers and bor- rowing tisrough the Ontario Student Assistance Programn. So the scisolarsisip came as a welcome joli. "I waa kind of surprised. It came out of nowhere," she said. "I isad no ides about it." Upon completion of bier four-year degree, Ms Wocker is hoping t0 keep bier akills polished by becoming an interpreter, either in Canada or Europe.

With one language under hier bell, leamn- ing others waa simple. "I had French as a base and I kind of applied il 10 everything," said Ms Wicker. But tise one she couldn'l apply il 10 was sign language, wisich she took up while sttending E.C. Drury. That's because the facial muscles are as much a part of tisat language as the signa are. 'Il's facial expressions, too. tt's a very important part of sign language," se said. But vibrant and lively herself, she took 10 il eaaily. "I'm a very expressive person," said Ms Wocker. "I think it's a cool language 10 leam."
