“My name is Aida M. Mota. When I came to America seven years ago, it was difficult for me. I didn't know nay English. I went to English School . I got my first job. When I came to America a lot of people helped me, and today I have a better job. I got a driver's license. I was very happy. I did it for my son. Today I am very proud of my son who knows more English than I do. He teaches me a lot. I have a lot of loyal friends and great English teachers. Today I have a stable life, and I give thanks to all my English teachers who helped me. I love America and all my friends and relatives.”
