Student and Volunteer Success Stories

My name is Beris and my tutors is Danielle. She made me get my driver's license. I tried 30 times before I passed and 27 were before I met Danielle. We practiced every night and I finally understood. My tutor taught me to answer 10 questions at a time and I did the same thing for the driver's test. I passed! It was a good feeling.

With Danielle's help I found a new job at the local hospital. I am doing so good with the words for my job; my tutor teaches me and I practice. I have two jobs and I am doing much better than before. Without this program I would not have my tutor and would not have been able to get my driver's license or a better job. I appreciate everything!
