I have almost reached my dream
by Juliana
My name is Juliana. I was born in Ghana. I came to Canada in 1995 because of my husband. When I came here I was disappointed with myself because I did not get enough education. I could not express myself and every day I was sad and shy to talk to people. I could not read and write so looked for help. I’m glad right now I’m receiving help to reach my dream. I would like to tell anyone who is looking for help: education is the key.
