“I want to give possibilities to those who lack the possibility. The greatest lack, or the greatest need — that’s where I want to be. I want to give hopes and dreams to others.” Angela, Class of 2022

Angela has waited 10 years to get her TESOL certificate. She is finishing the course over this next month, and we wanted to take a moment to highlight her story.

Hear some of her experiences throughout her time in the TESOL course and what it was like teaching English in Bolivia — including the day that she got locked in a room just as her class was starting. Make sure you listen to the very end to hear about her hopes and dreams for after the course.
