This Is My Story
I am a student at San Mateo Adult School and this is my story.
My name is Ismael Gonzalez and I am from Mexico. I cam to the this country on March 17, 200 to seek a better life. I was eighteen years old. I got a job at "Restaurant Depot." My employer spoke Spanish, so I didn't need English. In 2008, the company moved. I got a new job at a laundry company. The manager hired a teacher for employees to learn English one hour a day.
Now I am married and have two children: one in kindergarten, and one in Pre-School. I need to learn English to help my children and to participate in Parent Meetings at school. That is why in 2014, I registered at San Mateo Adult School. I like the school because the teachers are good and I am learning a lot. I want to continue to study English to speak, read, and write very well.
Thank you, Ismael, for sharing your inspiring story.
