Roselina came to the United States from the Dominican Republic in 2018 with her husband, eager to build a new life. While adjusting to her new home, she recognized the importance of learning English to communicate effectively and pursue her goals. In 2023, she joined Skyline Literacy to take English language classes, determined to improve her skills and gain confidence in her daily interactions.

With dedication and the support of Skyline Literacy’s teachers and staff, Roselina made steady progress. She enjoyed the classes and found them instrumental in enhancing her ability to speak, read, and write in English. Encouraged by her success, she took the next step in her journey—enrolling in Skyline’s Citizenship Preparation class. The class provided her with the knowledge and confidence she needed to prepare for her naturalization interview. After months of studying and practice, Roselina successfully completed her interview and proudly became a U.S. citizen on January 13, 2025.

Roselina’s improved English skills have also helped her in the workplace. She works at Walmart, where she now confidently communicates with both customers and coworkers in English. She plans to continue taking English classes at Skyline Literacy to further enhance her skills and expand her opportunities.

Roselina wholeheartedly recommends Skyline Literacy to anyone who wants to improve their English or become a U.S. citizen. Her story is a testament to the life-changing impact of education and community support.
