Maria Guilarte When Maria learned the community Carousel she had managed for 13 years would close down, a new door was opened to a career in the medical field, an opportunity she had always dreamed about. Maria enrolled in a Vocational ESL class specializing in Medical Careers. Maria spoke English very well but lacked confidence about her comprehension of medical terminology, medical math, writing patient reports in English, and using a computer. The “VESL” class helped her prepare to test for and enroll in the CNA program at the Health Occupation Center in Santee. Maria began her CNA class in January 2016. Most students in her class were younger, “tech savvy”, and English was their first language. Maria was nervous but determined to prove herself, knowing she had the advantage of maturity and the willingness to study hard! At the end of June 2016, Maria successfully completed her class and passed her certification exam, becoming a CNA. Maria received multiple employment offers and in just a couple weeks, on July 7th, 2016, she started her new career as a CNA. She plans to study again at HOC as she moves towards her next goal of becoming an LVN.
