Finding our ways . . .

I asked why they wanted to learn English.

The enthusiastic Colombian who likes to dance and jog on the weekends didn't hesitate, "To teach. To talk and be understood."

The shy, more reserved mother of two, offered up almost as dramatically, "To help my children with school. To get a job."

They won't leave this class knowing English. They will leave knowing they can. And I can help make this happen . . . one verb, one vocabulary presentation, one text at a time.

I think I could really like this job.
