MariaLopez 2005 College Transfer Graduate
Maria Lopez immigrated to the U.S. from Mexico City 18 years ago, seeking a better life. At first, her lack of English kept her from going to college; however, she soon discovered the ESL program at South Seattle Community College. As her language skills improved, she began taking academic courses. She credits Math Instructor Ted Coskey, who she calls an "inspiration," for her early successes in pursuing her educational dreams. Maria also found help with Student Success Services, which helps students like her who are the first in their families to attend college. Maria is giving back and now serves as a peer tutor with the program. Receiving her Associate of Arts this fall, she plans to get her teacher certification at Central Washington University's Des Moines campus. She hopes to one day be a community college math instructor.

Lyudmila Botamanenko ~ 1996 Accounting Graduate
Pre ReadingVocabulary: Do you know the meaning of these words?

Vocabulary Part of speech Definition
remarkable
example
motto
dedicated
eventually
fiscal


Lyudmila is a great example of South’s motto “Start Here, Go Anywhere.” Her story is that of a remarkable individual. Lyudmila came to the United States from Ukraine in 1989. At that time she did not speak much English, so she enrolled in the English as a Second Language (ESL) program in 1993. After completing the program she enrolled in classes and received a certificate in accounting. She was a very dedicated student and eventually started volunteering in the General Studies Office, which houses the ESL program, helping out with office work. She made such an impression that she was hired at the college, eventually worked her way to a position as a fiscal technician. Lyudmila, who had been at South for 10 years as a student, volunteer and employee, retired in June 2003. We look at her journey with both thanks and admiration.
