Here is what Marina shared with them:
Becoming
an ESL student at SMAS has taught me that for many students Adult Education there
is something more than just learning grammar, vocabulary or writing.
It
is a very special place for every student because of its special friendly
atmosphere.
For
many of us it is the only way to get cultural knowledge, learn how to get along
in a multicultural community and become a part of American community. Moreover,
it is the only way to find friends and recover from depression and desperation.
I
strongly believe that lonely, incompetent, incapable person couldn’t become a
good community member, worker, citizen or parent. And I know it from my own
experience, two years ago I really felt myself incompetent and incapable and unable
to set a good example for my sons and support them at their schools. But due to my studying in San Mateo Adult School I literally “rose from the ashes”. And I know
many people with the same experience, and whom our school has helped a lot.
So I hope the new Adult Education system keeps Adult
schools as the place with special atmosphere for students.
