IN OTHER WORDS.

Jose Martinez

Student

Jose Martinez is not a stranger to the Washington Literacy Center or the opportunities that can be found here. A returning student, he shares that in the past a number of barriers kept him from completing his studies at WLC despite the program being very helpful for him. Now, he has come back to finish what he started. “What the WLC has established is very comforting for people that are looking for help.”

Jose is currently attending the Just Words Intermediate level course. He hopes to be able to pick up more tools for reading and life and knows that his classmates share the same goals. “If you can’t read, it messes with your emotions. Some people are great people, but the issue they have is overwhelming and consumes their life. That’s why I’m here.”

Jose hopes to use the new skills he is learning at Washington Literacy Center to find a job to support him and his family. He is working hard to write the next chapter of his life.

Jose is a resident of Ward 4.
