ESOL Voices: Student Spotlight

Oleksandr (Alex) Chystukh comes from Ternopil, Ukraine. This is his third semester at MCC, and his major is criminal justice. Five years ago, he came to the U.S. and a new world opened up for him. He loves to travel and create memories. He says, “Nothing fun will ever happen if we stay all day on the couch or computer.” This story is a perfect example of his philosophy. Click on the link to read Alex’s story.

ESOL Voices is 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 new stories in the Tribune.  Search for older stories on our Omeka page created by librarian Andrea Kingston.  We hope you enjoy these stories as much as we do.
