“Thank you for helping me learn English while I was preparing to pass the citizenship exam.”
“I went to my first volunteer meeting this past Saturday and I was not expecting to address a group of refugees. I thought it would be a short meeting to learn more about the organization and what they might expect from me. To my surprised I was engaged almost immediately with meeting people from Poland Ukraine and Russia. It was a nice surprise. When I introduce myself I let them know that I do not speak Russian or Ukrainian. But I do speak some Spanish. And an even bigger surprise I met a family of nine they came to United States from Ukraine but lived in Spain for seven years before they arrived. So they spoke Spanish and that is how we communicated that morning. It was very interesting process.”

‘ I was an English teacher in Bulgaria. It took me 2 years to start teaching again in the United States! Although I spoke the language, I didn’t know how to write my resume or interview for a job. I had to complete applications and take many exams, but my cousin mentored and tutored me, so I could teach again. Now I want to tutor and mentor other immigrants like me because I understand their challenges.’
“I had a business in my country and was known and respected in my town. When I came to the US, I felt powerless because I didn’t know many people. I was scared that I couldn’t get a driver’s license because I didn’t speak English. I am so grateful that I found a mentor who was helping me pass the test and find the resources I needed to support my family. “
‘ I am a refugee from Nepal. I didn’t speak English well, but I wanted to receive my high school diploma and become a nurse. My English teacher tutored me individually and helped me get my credits and pass my high school exam. Now, I am a nurse and have a good life in the United States.’
