Daisy is a 2005 Learner Leader in the Adult Learner Institute.
"I have been working with my tutor, Debbie, for four years. Before I met her, my English was limited.After I met my tutor, I started to feel more comfortable speaking and understanding. I took the Milpitas School District tests and then I got a job as a cashier in the school cafeteria. Two months later, I got a satellite kitchen operator job.
"My tutor and I continued working together on my reading and writing skills, and I passed the writing test that the district requires. I am now more comfortable talking with and writing notes to the principal, teachers, parents and students. This month I got a promotion to a more challenging full-time job at Rancho Middle School.
I am continuing to meet with my tutor to improve my writing, reading and speaking skills."
