Weekly Check-In: Goals, Growth & Connections

Hi everyone,

My name is Somi. I'm a former teacher with 7 years of experience teaching computer-related subjects to secondary school students. I moved to Toronto in 2023 and, like many people, I'm still learning, growing, adapting, and working toward new goals.
I created Next Chapter Toronto because I believe it's easier to make progress when we don't do it alone.

This group is a place where we can:

• Plan our weeks and stay accountable
• Support each other while working toward personal, career, learning, or life goals
• Learn new skills and share resources
• Build meaningful connections and friendships
• Celebrate wins and navigate challenges together

For now, we'll meet virtually and keep things simple. The goal isn't perfection—it's progress.

What to expect during our sessions:

• Quick introductions
• What went well this week?
• What is one challenge you're currently working through?
• What is one goal you'd like to achieve before next week?
• Open discussion and networking

Whether you're a newcomer, a student, a professional, a job seeker, a language learner, or someone simply looking for motivation and connection, you're welcome here.

One more thing: English is not my first language. I'm fluent, but I still make mistakes from time to time. So please don't be shy or worry about speaking perfectly. This is a friendly, supportive space where everyone is learning something.

Looking forward to meeting you and hearing your story.

— Somi
Founder, Next Chapter Toronto
