Thanks to the Esperanza Center, Jorge no Longer Needs a Translator

I’m from Puebla, Puebla, Mexico. I’ve been in the US for almost three years. When I arrived here I didn’t speak English.

In my first job the American people spoke to me in English. I used to have to find somebody that spoke Spanish and he translated what they said so I could understand.

I decided to learn English. Now I am taking English classes in Esperanza Center. Now I understand and speak it more or less. Learning English is hard.

I like it here. I have gone to visit different places that I really like. For example: Hershey Park, New York, Washington, Ocean City, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, where I live.
I like it here a lot but I miss my family in Mexico. I talk to them on the telephone, it’s not enough. I’m going back to Mexico someday. I’m going to learn to be an electrician or mechanic.

Thanks a lot to Esperanza Center. I’ve had wonderful teachers here.
