The First week of the lab I arrived at the public library and I was told that I was in the\u00a0wrong location. Fortunately the next week I was able to arrive to the correct destination which\u00a0was located on Park street.<\/p>\n
As soon as I walked in, I saw a room full of young kids doing drawings while some\u00a0others were on their laptops. I immediately asked for Leticia Cotto, who would be my new supervisor. She promptly told me that the ESL lessons had not started yet (they would start in\u00a0a week or so) but she told me to sit down regardless of that and view how the children were\u00a0going about with their homework; I was very nervous, I still don’t know for what particular reason though. Meanwhile a man who had just arrived in Hartford was taking\u00a0a basic English test to view and comprehend at which level he was at.<\/p>\n
After many minutes went by I took a look at this test and was very surprised that his\u00a0knowledge of English was close to nothing. At the time I wasn’t even introduced to this man\u00a0and I was wondering how it would be to work with him in the upcoming weeks. I was sure that\u00a0it would not be easy for me to teach this man but I was willing to do so. I was willing because I\u00a0could tell that he really wanted to work and acquire the English language.<\/p>\n
I am excited for how the rest of the semester will go and hopefully I will learn a great amount from this experience.\u00a0 Hugo B.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
