Testimonials

“Many people think that it’s a shame when older people want to continue studying. I don’t think so. My family is so proud of me, and I’ve been a good example for kids, and that is worth it.”

“The program gave me determination and vision. I ask questions and don’t stay silent when I’m afraid to ask people for help.”

“Don’t be afraid to take the next step. Sometimes you'll feel like you can’t do it, but it’s all about your goal and seeing that you will accomplish it one day.”
