Naheda, a Kurdish refugee who knew no English when she came to the U. S. wrote, "I have a teacher. She is teaching me English. Now I can talk to people, answer the phone, work at a job, help my children with homework and I know how to spell some words!"
Robert couldn't read one question on a test he had to pass or he was out of the union, out of a job and out of luck. After 11 months of hard work, he scored 97 on the test and increased his pay from $9.25 to $20.50 an hour. He kept his job.
