My Nonprofit Reviews

Working at the EEC proved to be a profoundly transformative experience in my life. Before I was hired, it had been placed in my head that if you were not working towards becoming a dentist or a doctor any other path was regarded as inferior. Before I arrived here, I was severely lacking in the understanding of survival and true grit. In the beginning, I would drive out to translate and help members of the community fill out forms to register for classes. I would have conversations with these future students, where they come from, what they do for work, what it took to get to the actual day of registration, and a whole lot of other topics! Through these conversations, I was reminded of the grit and resilience that people possess, even in the face of adversity. "What motivates you?" I often found myself pondering this question. As students returned for subsequent semesters, recognizing the value of their classes, they would reconnect with me often with new family and friends in tow. It was during these moments of connection that I began to envision life as a voyage through various realms of existence. I was gifted the opportunity to speak with people from all over the world. Something that would likely take the average person many lifetimes to achieve. As the years passed, familiar faces started approaching me with questions, prompting me to meditate on my own goals. In short, my time at the EEC was a wonderful experience. I helped thousands of people, and every word spoken by them I took to heart.
