Student Stories

Each year Literacy Volunteers of Greater Worcester helps adults from all walks of life, all with different needs, become more comfortable with the English language. We challenge our students to dream, we are proud of all their accomplishments and we look forward to helping many more in the very near future.

Ban Yaqoob

December 17, 2015 by Literacy Volunteers

My name is Ban Yaqoob.  I am a refugee from Iraq.  My family and I have been in the United States for three years and a few months.  I have two children, one son in high school and a daughter in college.  When I first came to Worcester, I attended classes at Literacy Volunteers to learn English.  I waited a long time for a tutor.  We have been meeting every week for almost one and a half years.  I need to learn to speak English so that I can communicate in my daily life.  I am thankful to Literacy Volunteers and my teacher for helping me with my goal.
