SPEAKER: Hundreds of students whose first language
is Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, or Korean, for example, come
to us every year to learn how to speak,
how to read, and write in English,
opening countless doors of opportunity.
And the best part, this is all tuition free.

JULISSA VARGAS: I arrived in the United States
around 18, 19 years old.
That's what's difficult, all the [INAUDIBLE]
we have as immigrants.
Learning English at Chaffey helped
me to implement for myself for me, and for my kids,
for my husband, for my family.
It is a great program because the professors,
they help a lot of people.
My first ESL class was writing.
I had to write my first essay.
And I told my professor, I can't do it.
I want to quit the class.
And she told me, no.
You can do it.
And she explained me how to write the sentence.
Because of her, I'm here.
English changed my life.
I can help my kids.
I try to help my husband with his company.
I started in Chaffey with my ESL classes.
Then I get my citizenship.
And then I get three more certificates.
I love school.
My kids say I'm crazy.
I love to learn.
I try to teach my kids that they can do it.
That's why I encourage my kids to go to school.
You can see it through the end open door for everybody.
