HOW HAS YOUR
EXPERIENCE AS A CARLOS
ROSARIO STUDENT
INFLUENCED YOUR
BELIEF IN THE VALUE OF
EDUCATION?
Carlos Rosario is a
public charter school
where there are many
students from different
parts of the world. They
take the time to come
to school because they
value education. Since
my first day of school
here, I have been posi-
tively impacted in many
ways. First of all, when
you arrive at Carlos
Rosario, no matter your
English level, there is a
class that is right for you.
For example, when I
came to Carlos Rosario, I
didn’t understand almost
anything in English.
But with the help of my
teachers and homework,
I improved. Also, when I
didn’t understand what
my teachers said, they
repeated themselves and
were so patient. Commu-
nicating in English took
a lot of time because

I didn’t want to make
mistakes. I had to think
first before responding.
Secondly, through
Carlos Rosario, I came to
understand that educa-
tion knows no age. Every-
one, adults included,
has the right to learn.
Many adults at Carlos
Rosario did not have
the chance to learn the
basics in their country.
At Carlos Rosario, they
can start with the alpha-
bet, numbers, and other
basic concepts. These
adults come to school
and arrive on time. They
can still do great things...
this is amazing! As a
younger person, I am
inspired when I see older
people come to school
despite many obstacles.
If these parents have the
devotion to go to school
and do homework, then
it pushes me to achieve
and grow.
In addition, this school
is very diverse, many
countries, religions,
cultures, and classes. In
the beginning, I thought
there were only English
classes but later I real-
ized there were other
programs too. In addition
to improving my English,
I am training to be a
Nursing Assistant. Carlos
Rosario also offers Culi-
nary Arts, Computers,
and guidance for those
who want to continue
higher education.
Finally, education is
for everyone. Anybody
who desires to study can
always do it and achieve
their goals. This is what
Carlos Rosario School
has impressed upon me.
