ESOL Voices: Student Spotlight

Ilia Ciko is an ESOL student from Albania. In his native country, he studied sculpture and was a rising talent. He came to the United States via the American immigration lottery three and a half years ago, and is here with his family. He hopes to "own" English one day. Reading a story written by a Chinese student triggered Ilia's own memories of living under communism. Click on the pdf to read his story.

ESOL Voices a collection of stories written by ESOL students at Monroe Community College. This publication highlights our MCC students who come from all over the world. Look for a new story in the Tribune each month. (This is the last edition for the 2017-2018 academic year.) We hope you will find these stories interesting and inspiring.
