Success Story from Broadview Learning Center
Briceth Avila in her words with translation
Mi vida antes de la escuela, era un poco aburrida porque después de casi 5 años sin escuela quería ir y aprender, en mi casa leía mucho porque es algo que me gusta hacer.
My life before school was a bit boring because for almost 5 years without attending school I wanted to learn. At home I would read a lot because it is something that I like to do.
Ahora tengo más ánimos de seguir estudiando y poder estudiar lo que quiero ser en el futuro. (Trabajadora Social
Now I have more ambition to continue studying. I can now study what I would like to do in the future and that is to be a Social Worker.
Ambas me motivaron a no dejar la escuela, y me ayudaron mostrándome programas en Español con los cuales podía facilitar mi manera de aprender. Y estoy muy agradecida con ellas por eso, grandes y estupendas mujeres!!
Both Sheila Butler and Patricia Marvin motivated me to not quit school and they helped me by showing me programs in Spanish which facilitated the way I learn. I am very grateful to them for this. They are great and stupendous women.
Quiero mejorar mi Inglés, ser trabajadora social y ayudar a todas las personas que lo necesiten!! En especial a la comunidad latina que no habla Inglés.
I want to improve my English, become a Social Worker, and help all of the people who need help, especially the community that doesn’t speak English.
Patricia adds, “ Briceth is one of my biggest miracles. A girl who came to the US with no English and a 7th-grade education successfully achieved her high school equivalency diploma 2 years later. Briceth reminded me that if you believe in a kid and never give up on them, they usually achieve great things.”
Sheila shares “Briceth was a motivated and hard worker with goals driving her each day. She was getting married and really wanted to complete it before that happened, and she did!”
