“When I first started teaching, I went to the LAC to find materials for my GED classes. Since I fell into this field with absolutely no education or background, I thought, ‘Oh, good, here’s someone who’s giving workshops on what to do in a classroom!’ ”
– Linda Avitabile, Director of Education, Highbridge Community Life Center
Rosa Veloz was born in the Dominican Republic and lived in Spain before coming to New York in the late ‘90s. After less than two years in the Spanish GED program at Highbridge Community Life Center, she earned her GED and went on to study at Hostos Community College in the Bronx.
“For the future I want to learn more English,” she said. “It’s important for my career, because I want to be a lawyer.”
