Dear
Readers, The title which I wrote is clearly subjective and it only expresses
my
own opinion as to the aim and usefulness of this program.
Via this subject you give me the possibility, and the occasion
to stress
the importance and the significance of the program. Because I
believe
that good things should also be heard and awarded.
My name is Fr Andreas Markopoulos., I came from Greece, and moved
here
with my family in the year 1998. Our life here was not easy and
the
biggest problem that we faced was the "linguistic problem" as
a
necessary means of communication. Of course each beginning is
difficult
which every person has experienced.
This reason, therefore, led me to watch for courses in English,
in order
to resolve the linguistic problem for my family socially.
This program honors this country, honors our state, honors the
teaching
system, honors the instructors and honors the school. This means,
that
this country bestowed love on those immigrants, knowing their
economic
needs as newly arrived residents in a new country. Thus the immigrants
being helped from the state begin to learn the language better,
to find
better work. Possibly they had qualifications, but because of
their
linguistic problem, their qualifications were being downgraded.
Generally they became beneficial citizens in this country.
According to all of this above, the aim of this program is clearly
to
aid the smooth rehabilitation of immigrants as active members
of this
society and simultaneously to turn out to be useful not only
to
themselves but also for society as a whole.
I want to congratulate the state, and mainly the instructors
and the
teaching system at Q.C.C. for this their efforts which result
in the
greatest success due to the love and the hard work of the teachers.
I
say this from my own experience where in a very small amount
of time,
hardly 4 months, I have already begun to use better English and
to adapt
better in my work and in my personal life.
I wish this program to continue the same way and to continue
having such
instructors with the support of the state.
