It Is Never Too Late to Start

by Mayra V.

My name is Mayra and I’m 35 years old. I want to share my experience that has motivated me a lot to work hard to achieve my goal and demonstrate that it doesn’t matter what age you are or what obstacles you have in your life. I want to thank Monument Impact Center, which is where I started to take my first steps into learning English as a second language with my teacher. Through this program I met a friend, Consuelo, who told me about a program called Project Second Chance. I’ve been there for a few months now, and I’ve been able to succeed both academically and personally. I feel proud of myself because despite the constant struggles that I have faced in my life, I remain determined and dedicated. I have no words to express the gratitude that I have for my tutor Sandy for all the support that she gives to me, and also thanks to the people who make this program possible for all the people who want to improve themselves.
