Aicha, age twenty-four, from Burkina Faso, wants to be an accountant; her father wants her to be a nurse. She is not sure which she will do. She has friends from many countries, including Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, Guinea, and the Dominican Republic, and says, “We are like one big family.”

Isabella, age twenty-seven, from the Dominican Republic, works part-time as a home attendant. She wants to attend Hostos Community College and become a medical assistant.

Nadege, age twenty, from Ivory Coast, had only religious education in her country. She hopes to become a citizen.

Yusra, age forty-five, from Yemen, wants to learn English so that she can pass the citizenship interview. She cries a little when she describes how hard it is for her to learn English. Her six-year-old daughter tells her it is easy.
