Clearview Adult Education Center issued the following announcement on Feb 17.
My Experience in Adult Learning School.
My name is Berta Beltran, and I did not want to go to school at the age of 68. I thought it was so embarrassing to go to study English at my age. A good friend said, “It’s not too late”. I signed up online, but I didn’t like it. She said, “It would be best to go in person.” Clearview Adult was the school she told me to go to.
I came, and I met so many people who wanted to learn too. I can read English much better now, but sometimes I don’t understand what it means. Sometimes my friend helps me to say some words right and tells me what they mean.
My teachers are a really big help and have taught me everything I know today. I have been in the US for a long time, and I always wanted to learn English. I want to thank you, my teachers Nicole, Laura, Terri and Inguna for giving me a chance to understand English and read English more. If it wasn’t for my teachers and my friends, I don’t know what I would have done.
Thank you so much,
Berta.
