Student and Volunteer Success Stories

Four months ago, I moved to Holyoke, Massachusetts, from the Dominican Republic with a lot of dreams to achieve, one of them was to improve my English Skills, for a while, that dream seemed to be far away, every day I felt intimidated to speak English, I didn't have enough confidence in myself, but I was determined to not give up and that’s how I found “The Community Education Project” they received me with a warming welcoming. My teacher Angelika, who has an admirable passion for teaching, helped me improve my writing techniques and gain confidence in speaking, her classes made me feel with a purpose again, later the CEP Director allowed me to be part of the CEP family, as part of their staff in the Office Administrator position, This opportunity has been very enriching for me, I have learned a lot and I can also put into practice the knowledge and skills acquired over the years. I hope my testimony encourages others to not be afraid to learn English and to feel capable of learning with effort and dedication. I’m very grateful for this journey and it makes me happy that now I’m able to help new students.
