Rose...

Since coming to class, I’ve helped out in my community. I have enrolled in the Christmas Parade in order to represent the class. Before, I was too shy to do it. Coming to the literacy classes has changed my personality, and I’m happy about it. I have the chance to meet people, and I am comfortable doing so. I have more respect for my family as well.

Since I have more confidence in myself, I do more volunteer work for our classes. Every Friday, we organize a draw to help our class. We’ve also sold calendars, and I helped with this fundraiser. I am not paid for this volunteer work, and I wouldn’t want to be either. I feel proud of myself to be of service to others who need help.

I see myself, in the future, as a good woman, a woman who works hard in order to lead a nice life. I’ve always wanted to move to Hollywood and work in judicial sciences. Being determined, I won’t stop until I reach my goal. I want to help out my parents financially or otherwise. I love them very much, I appreciate their support, and I’m eternally grateful to them for their love and collaboration. We’re told that if we help someone, the same will come back to us. If I can only get to that point, my dream will have come true.

In the past, someone told me that if I wanted something, I simply had to work in order to get it. I really trust that message, and I share it with everyone. You are all able if you truly want it. Come join our classes, and I assure you that you will like the experience.
