Michael's Story

by Michael Kamara
Captain William Spry Library Adult Learning Program

Michael with Coordinator Linda Oakley and tutor David Porter at the Captain William Spry Library

My name is Michael Sillah Kamara. I am 29 years old. I came from Sierra Leone and am married with one daughter.

I graduated from the Cunard Learning Centre and now study at FLECs.

I want to graduate from FLECs by working hard and get my high school diploma and go to NSCC and study accounting as my long term goal.

The thing I like best about the Captain William Spry tutoring program is the way Linda is helping me in reading and writing and to improve my English. I also like the friendship of the people at the library as it gives me more confidence and motivates me to continue my studies.

I would like to encourage every one who wants to improve his or her reading and writing or wants to continue in school to visit a library or adult learning program in Halifax for help. Thanks to people like Linda and my tutor David, you will get the help you need.
