Student of the Month Wendy Xiu
The Board recognized student of the month Wendy Xiu from the Adult Education Program. Her teachers shared the following description of Ms. Xiu:
“Wendy came to the U.S. on August 1, 2019 and promptly joined our class at Our Second Home location on August 21, 2019. Since she has been here she has obtained her driver's license and a paid caretaker position with In Home Support Services. Our class has been impressed with her accounts of caring for her elderly, blind patient. Her kindness, generosity, and efforts to make a difference in his life have been very touching. Even though it is not her job, she brings him free food, cooks for him, and goes out of her way to make his life better.
Wendy is a strong believer in education to achieve her goals, such as getting her GED, a certificate or degree from community college, a good paying job, her U.S. citizenship, and a place in the community.”
