Believing That You Can
inspiration. I came to the United States of America
seventeen months ago. I came because I wanted a better
future and opportunities for me and my children. My main
goals are to learn English, learn to drive, and find a job. At
this moment, I am focused on achieving only two of those
goals. Iām currently attending an adult ESOL class and a
child care vocational class thanks to the SAVES program at
M-DCPS. I chose to study child care because I love children
and I am delighted to teach and watch them grow and
develop properly. In this course, I have learned the rules and
regulations that govern child care centers; health, safety,
nutritional and developmental appropriate practices and
how to recognize and report child abuse and neglect. Now, I
just need to start learning to drive. And I know I will,
because when you put forth your best effort in everything,
you succeed. Stay positive!
