"I enrolled into HACC because…my mother always told me that education is the most important thing. A thief can come to your home and take everything that you work for, but he can never take what you have learned."|
"Our professor… asked us to draw a picture of where we would like to see ourselves five years from that moment. I drew a picture of myself with a book in my hand. Everyone else drew a car, a house, family, and places like Hawaii, Paris and the Bahamas. After that, great sadness embraced me and I felt tears were ready to came out, but I took a deep breath and said, 'This is me and my books because the only thing that I want five years from now is to learn how to speak English properly'. ” |
