I moved here from Guatemala because I wanted to become a doctor, and many of my family members work in the medical field. Restore Education helped me complete my GED, improve my English, and I just completed a Medical Assistant training program so that I can finally begin a career in the medical field. Now I am able to support my son and show him that he can achieve his dreams through education.
