Accomplishments
By Nelva L .
Hello , my name is Nelva L . I ’ m originally from Honduras . I arrived in this country 7 years ago . My first job was as a Busboy at a restaurant in Chinatown . At first , everything was super complicated . I had no idea how to talk to customers and , in fact , was scared . My classmate taught me to use two words to speak to people . These were my first words in English , “ Hello , how are you ?” “ Excuse me ”, and “ Can I move your plate now ?” I don ’ t consider myself an expert in English but I try to improve every day . Nothing has been easy but I ’ m really happy that I will finally have my green card in a few months . God willing , everything with patience can be achieved . Fight for your dreams . In my case it ’ s a struggle that lasted for years and I ’ m still in the fight today .

A year ago , I got my Driver ’ s License . For me , it was a very important achievement . I feel that everything is much easier . Now I can go to work without complications . I can also travel without stress . In conclusion , these are the best things that have happened to me .
