PROFESSOR BRINGS  
MOM TO CLASS!                      
Summer-I ESLP classes were treated       to a special guest visit by Professor Teresita Blake Kellenyi's mom (also Mrs. Blake). Joined by Prof. Larry Marx's class, students asked questions and were offered a full range of interesting views and stories from this remarkably clear and wise woman.  Topics included life in the U.S. compared to her native Chile, experiences with her nine children and 27 grandchildren, her volunteer work with a medical center, her 60-year marriage, and even apple pie, among her favorite foods.  The effect of this fun meeting was a sweet reminder of all our Moms, wherever they may be, and the precious gift of family which we all share.     

SUCCESS STORY for YUL    
Thanks to her hard work and dedication to her career goals, Ms. Yul Kim, one of our ESLP participants, has been offered a full-time position in the prestigious Montefiore Dialysis Center in New York.
   Yul had already passed the NCLEX (National Nursing Exam), and qualified as a Registered Nurse in New York. She has been sharpening her English skills in order to communicate. At the interview at Montefiore, for which she had prepared intensively, she said she felt composed and surprisingly confident. 
     When asked for tips that she would like to pass on to her fellow international colleagues, Yul said, "At the interview, don't be shy.  Feel free to express your opinions and observations.  Ask questions (except about salary).  Just be yourself." Yul's success is an inspiration to all of us.
