Maria decided she wanted to learn English at Palomar College. She didn’t know where to go or what to do to take a class, so she called and made an appointment with someone in the ESL department. When she called, the person who answered the phone was happy to speak with her in English or Spanish. She made an appointment for later that day, and she quickly got ready and went straight to the college. At the college, she needed to fill out information online in order to become a student and register for classes. She felt both nervous and excited at the same time. Was the teacher nice? What things did the students learn in the class? The first day of class was one week away and it was hard to wait.
