“I just wanted to take a moment to share this photo with all of you. As some of you may know Goodwin University has been hosting a series of English classes that go for 10 weeks. They are already in their second round. I would like to introduce you to Esperanza and Jose Luis. These two individuals would have never crossed paths if it wasn't for the English classes. I sat next to Esperanza and conversed with her, she came from Peru and taught for 25 years. Jose Luis's ears perked up. Esperanza is 87. Jose Luis is 37. Jose Luis shot up from his chair and came over and told Esperanza that she was the reason he keeps coming to class. I asked if I could take their picture because she was a beautiful example that age does not make a difference. I watched as he helped his new friend up the stairs to class. These are the encounters that keep me going, knowing the Family Wellness Center has no boundaries when it comes to age. All you have to do is want it."
