This country has a lot of opportunities in many areas, especially when it comes to education. The United States offers opportunities to help people to get educated.

Here in Fayette County, we have Adult English Education, which has helped the foreign community to learn English as a second language.

In this English class (offered by Griffin Technical College) we can find people from different nationalities and different continents. We have people from Asia, Europe, India, Caribbean islands, Central and South America.

We have a lot of different cultures and languages, but we have something in common: the desire to be able to write and speak English fluently.

But we don’t only feel that we are learning English; we also feel welcomed into the class and accepted by the teachers.

In this English class held in Peachtree City, not only do we learn English, we also have social activities which help us meet people from other countries and make friends.

This class is something positive and a reason to give thanks to this country.
