When I arrived in the United States, I did not speak any English at all. I did not know how to communicate with people at my job. It was very hard for me, so three years ago, I decided to take English classes here at Lane Community College. My idea was just to finish my 6 levels, but then I asked myself. What do you want to do after you finish your English classes? Do you want to go back to your last job and do the same thing? What do you want for your future? You came here for a better life and you need to do something. When I was in Mexico, I wanted to go to college and become a journalist, but I did not have the opportunity. Now, I am here. English is not my first language, but now at least, I can have an English conversation. I do not have any experience in multimedia, but that is why I am attending college. I want to fight for my dreams. I believe that there are many better opportunities for me in my new future.
