Rosa's Journey of Learning and Teaching English
by Gissell Vazquez, Adult Ministry Director
Rosa is an ESL student at Mission Adelante, and has come a long way since she first stepped foot into the program. She started in Level 2 as she had more skills than a regular beginner student and now she finds herself in Level 4, confidently conversing with her classmates and teachers.
Rosa's journey was fueled by her determination and passion for learning. English is her second language; Spanish flowed effortlessly from her lips. However, she had always dreamed of becoming fluent in English to connect with people on a deeper level. Rosa believed that language could bridge the gaps and create opportunities for understanding.
Her achievements in learning the language were remarkable. Rosa dedicated hours to practicing her pronunciation, expanding her vocabulary, and mastering the intricate grammar rules. Her persistence paid off as she became more comfortable expressing herself in English, gaining confidence with each passing day.
But Rosa's desire to serve her community extended beyond her own language journey. She yearned to make a difference and give back. Recognizing her dedication and progress, Darby approached Rosa with an extraordinary opportunity – teaching a class alongside her.
Overwhelmed with excitement and nerves, Rosa eagerly accepted the challenge. With Darby's guidance, she began preparing lesson plans, creating engaging activities, and practicing her teaching skills. The day arrived when Rosa stood in front of her classmates, ready to share her knowledge and passion. As Rosa taught the students responded positively, inspired by Rosa's journey and her willingness to help them improve.
Rosa's achievements in mastering her second language and her desire to serve her community had brought her to this moment. She is proof that with hard work and dedication, dreams can become a reality. With each step she took, Rosa not only transformed her own life, but also uplifted those around her, leaving an impact on Mission Adelante and its students.
As she continues her journey, Rosa knows that her experiences as a student and a teacher will fuel her resolve to pursue her dreams and inspire others to reach their full potential. Language has become her tool for change, and Rosa is determined to use it to make a difference in the world.
