“Learning English at ICT has positively impacted my life.”
“Before ICT, it was impossible for me to have a conversation in English with any Native American. My English was not only bad, it was horrible. I was ashamed to speak.” “Then I started learning English here at ICT, and little by little, day after day, I began to speak and to hear and understand what was spoken to me. My teachers weren’t bored with my mistakes, but instead kept correcting me and encouraging me which made me believe in myself.”
“Learning English at ICT transformed me. I’m no longer ashamed to talk to anyone. I’m confident that I can communicate with anybody, be heard and hear anyone. I’m proud of myself and my teachers. I couldn’t make it without them teaching and encouraging me.”
“I thank the entire board of teachers from ICT. With them the dream is possible and I can make it. Thank you ICT.”
