Student Stories

Dear Students,

This is your community. We want to hear your stories.

Many of our friends are searching for work in a new country. Please write to tell us about your experiences in looking for a job. How did you find your first job in the United States? Did you find work through friends, through the newspapers, through the internet? Was it easy or difficult? Are you looking for work, now? To tell us your stories, click comment. Remember, your experiences can help other students to get ideas!

Teacher Lunch

For any teachers who want to get together and have lunch, mark your calendars for October 21. We will meet at the restaurant right after class. For more details, talk to Carron. Keep checking our blog for updates on other social events for teachers and students.
