Where do you see yourself at the end of this year?
By Bunmi English Second Language, 1st Year
here I see myself at the end of this year is having boldness in my communication with people without having fear of what feedback I will get from them. I remember that before I started attending Advanced Class, I had the fear of communicating well with people especially facing the crowd because I always get embezzling feedback from people.
The feedback that I always get from people: “Can you speak out and clear,” “What do you mean,” “Can you repeat your words again,” “I can hear you,” or “I can not understand what you are saying.” For these reasons, I felt bad in my spirit always that I didn’t have good communication skills and this result to fear in me.
I decided that I will not involve myself in any long conversation or communication with people again except if it is compulsory for me to talk. I know with this Advanced Class, I am now able to communicate little by little with people without the fear of their feedback. So, at the end of this year, Where I will see myself is having boldness of communicating well with people such as Individual group or large crowds without any fear or doubt in my spirit.

Where will I be in one year?
By Jason Basic Literacy, 2nd Yearince I have been in Ethos Literacy it has given me the confidence to pursue a different career path and has given me more confidence in myself. I have to thank Ethos and JJ for opening my eyes to my potential. I see myself reading a lot more books next year and going for a higher position in my work that I probably would never have explored if I didn’t get the boost of confidence and support. Before Ethos I would shy away from reading and just think that I couldn’t do something because of my disability. I felt that I was stuck. Now I find myself enjoying reading and looking forward to my next adventures in reading. At work, I am striving to become a better employee and am even working towards a promotion.

By Yasamin English SecondWhat do you think when you look at me?
By AsaliaEnglish Second Language, 7th Year
hen you look at me I think it is like looking in the mirror and describing myself physically. But I’m going to describe how I think, what I like and what I have learned from life. I am a spiritual person that prefers to be alone. I think it’s a way to put my thoughts in order to understand myself and thus others. I see life as a learning school in which it gives me the opportunity to repair my mistakes. I have been cultivating my way of expressing and giving love, respect, and comprehension to other people at the level of consciousness. So I saw it from my perspective and took action. I learned that all these positive actions are free and with unique and incomparable value.
I would like to address in addition I have learned that everything that happens to me has a growing purpose and I see the positive in reality. I am a person that enjoys having contact with nature. What I enjoy is walking when it rains and how the smell fills the air. When the night comes it brings me other gorgeous things that I enjoy, which is looking at the full moon and the sparkling starts in combination with the sweet and delicate fragrance of some flowers like honeysuckle, jasmins, freesias, etc. Also I like to contemplate when the sun falls asleep surrounded by reddish, orange, pink tones and sometimes, the shade of purple. Many positive and wonderful results could happen if I put my mind to the sound of silence.
I don’t let the thieves of happiness steal my positive attitude.
What will you be doing in one

What I Learned this Year and What I Want to Learn for the Next Year
By Laura
English Second Language, 2nd Year
his year for me has been a lot of learning. First I want to thank the teacher for her availability and patience. I have acquired new skills from her. How to better understand what is being spoken to me, when she listens to me, and helps me improve my pronunciation, It gives me confidence, as well as encouragement to keep talking, since I’m a little shy to talk, it’s easy to express with her without feeling that she’s judged. I would love to continue learning as well as with the teacher, One of the things that I would like to achieve, is to understand more what is being said to me, but not only that, if I cannot answer, be it verbal or written, I need to improve in the formation of sentences, I know that, I will achieve it, sorry it is costing me to move faster. Thank you.
