History of Success
"I knew I had it in me. I just wanted someone to hold my hand through it." -Julie Parsons, Learner at Vision Literacy
"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.” -Daisy, Learner at Vision Literacy
"Sandy makes me feel secure about myself and gives me the confidence to keep going with my cake-decorating classes. When I don't understand something, she helps me by showing me pictures or giving me different definitions of words. I am so grateful for her support." -Alejandra, Learner at Vision Literacy
