<strong>Alix</strong>, <strong>Edgar</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Marlon</strong> <strong>Camacho</strong><br />
A “<strong>LaGuardia</strong> Family” Celebrates Its Accomplishments<br />
<strong>Alix</strong> <strong>Camacho</strong> came to New York City in 1999<br />
intending to earn a college degree <strong>and</strong> then return to<br />
her native Colombia. After studying English in the<br />
CUNY Language Immersion Program (CLIP) at<br />
<strong>LaGuardia</strong>, she received an Associates Degree in<br />
Programming <strong>and</strong> Systems from <strong>LaGuardia</strong> <strong>and</strong> a<br />
Bachelors of Technology Degree in Computer<br />
Information Systems from CUNY's New York City<br />
<strong>College</strong> of Technology. Then she made the decision to<br />
stay in the United States. Little did she know, she was<br />
paving the way for her two brothers.<br />
“Working in the CUNY<br />
Language Immersion<br />
Program has been<br />
the most rewarding<br />
experience.”<br />
<strong>Marlon</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Edgar</strong><br />
<strong>Camacho</strong> arrived<br />
together in 2006 <strong>and</strong><br />
realized immediately<br />
that they needed to<br />
learn English. Following<br />
in the footsteps of their<br />
little sister, they enrolled<br />
in CLIP, with the<br />
intention of completing the program <strong>and</strong> continuing<br />
on to college. They also have achieved that goal;<br />
<strong>Edgar</strong> graduated this past June cum laude from NYC <strong>College</strong> of Technology with a Bachelors Degree<br />
in Computer Engineering, <strong>and</strong> <strong>Marlon</strong> earned his Associates Degree in Graphic Art Production<br />
Management, also from NYC <strong>College</strong> of Technology.<br />
Though the three siblings didn't study together (<strong>Marlon</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Edgar</strong> were in CLIP at the same time<br />
but in different class levels) or work together (they work in separate areas), they shared a common<br />
experience. They came to the U.S. to receive an education, <strong>and</strong> along the way--with a lot of hard<br />
work--they learned English, became college graduates <strong>and</strong> decided to make this country their home.<br />
And this journey began at <strong>LaGuardia</strong>.<br />
"As a student at <strong>LaGuardia</strong>, I learned so much, not only about my<br />
career but also about the education system in the United Sates,"<br />
explains <strong>Alix</strong>. "Working in CLIP [as a computer lab supervisor] has<br />
been the most rewarding experience. I am able to use my technical<br />
skills as well as my experience working with the students."<br />
"When I came to the U.S., I did not know English, <strong>and</strong> I had to try hard to learn the new language,"<br />
says <strong>Edgar</strong>. "After I finished CLIP, I had the chance to start in college."<br />
“<strong>LaGuardia</strong> is one of<br />
the most diverse colleges<br />
in New York City.”<br />
“After I finished the<br />
CUNY Language Immersion<br />
Program I had the chance<br />
to start in college.”<br />
<strong>Marlon</strong> adds, "One month after arriving in the U.S., we started in<br />
CLIP. It had an impact on me to see people from so many<br />
different cultures. <strong>LaGuardia</strong> is one of the most diverse colleges<br />
in New York City."<br />
The <strong>Camacho</strong> Family has much to celebrate. Beginning at<br />
<strong>LaGuardia</strong>, they’ve attained the goals they set out to accomplish<br />
when they arrived in this country. And there is one more cause to celebrate: <strong>Marlon</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Edgar</strong><br />
followed their sister's example once again <strong>and</strong> recently became U.S. citizens!<br />

Agata Baczyk<br />
NOT Lost In Translation<br />
Though Agata Baczyk had a love of languages since she was a girl, what she didn’t know was that her<br />
English studies, that began at the age of 12 in her native Pol<strong>and</strong>, would one day translate into a very<br />
practical <strong>and</strong> valuable career of healthcare interpreting.<br />
As the instructor for <strong>LaGuardia</strong>’s Polish/English Healthcare Interpreting, Level 1 course, Ms. Baczyk<br />
teaches students basic interpreter skills <strong>and</strong> terminology, <strong>and</strong> prepares them to pass the national<br />
Language Line Interpreter Skills Test in order to become certified healthcare interpreters. This is a<br />
growing field in which interpreters communicate crucial healthcare information—<strong>and</strong> lend a comforting<br />
voice—to non-English speakers in their native language.<br />
“It is wonderful to know that once the students finish the course they will be able to give so much back<br />
to the community by helping other Polish people <strong>and</strong> providing interpretation for those who need it,”<br />
says Ms. Baczyk, adding that the course also teaches students how to h<strong>and</strong>le practical <strong>and</strong> ethical issues.<br />
Ms. Baczyk majored in English <strong>and</strong> Russian Linguistics in college in Pol<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> earned another BA<br />
Degree in Russian Language <strong>and</strong> Linguistics from Queens <strong>College</strong>. She is a certified healthcare<br />
interpreter, <strong>and</strong> aside from teaching she is providing face-to-face interpretation in many New York<br />
hospitals as well as over-the-phone interpretations for clients all over the U.S.<br />
“Not too long ago I was a student myself, <strong>and</strong> now I reached the level of fluency <strong>and</strong> professionalism<br />
that enables me to teach others,” says Ms. Baczyk. “It feels great!”<br />

Stepping Stone<br />
Byron Cocha is from a small town in Ecuador called<br />

United States, he left for New York as soon as he<br />
graduated high school. He enrolled at The English<br />

on his way. Since his time in TELC, Byron has earned an<br />

says Byron. “When I started learning English, I wanted to<br />
learn as much as possible to start my college education.<br />
I always recommend to anybody that needs to improve<br />
his English to attend TELC. My English improved notably<br />
<strong>and</strong> helped me to get a better job. It gave me the<br />
confidence I needed to feel happy <strong>and</strong> comfortable<br />
while having a conversation.”<br />

Brenda Mattison<br />
Discovering the Adventure of Lifelong Learning<br />
WHAT IF?<br />
Brenda Mattison (l.) with her counselor,<br />
Ida Heyman.<br />
working full time <strong>and</strong><br />
with family responsibilities would need. She needn’t have worried.<br />
“It turned out that there were many things I knew from life that<br />
younger students didn’t know,” she says, adding that she took <strong>and</strong><br />
passed the GED exam after just six months. With encouragement<br />
from the ALC counselor, she decided to go further <strong>and</strong> apply to<br />
college in 2009. However, failed placement exams temporarily<br />
blocked her path, <strong>and</strong> it wouldn’t be until 2010 that she would<br />
enter CUNY Start, an intensive 18-week program that provides<br />
remedial instruction in academic reading, writing <strong>and</strong> math as well<br />
Brenda Mattison has come a long way, literally <strong>and</strong> figuratively.<br />
Having relocated in 2008 from Florida with her 8-year-old daughter<br />
<strong>and</strong> looking to get a GED to improve her career options <strong>and</strong> earning<br />
potential, the former medical biller embarked on a journey without<br />
knowing where it would lead her. That journey began at <strong>LaGuardia</strong>’s<br />
Adult Learning Center.<br />
Not having been in school in 20 years, Brenda was nervous about the<br />
prospect of being the oldest student in class <strong>and</strong> not having the<br />
support an adult learner<br />
“I want to show my daughter<br />
that no matter what age you<br />
are, if you want to better<br />
yourself, you have to go after<br />
what you want.”<br />
as other support services. She noted that the program taught her how to write an effective essay <strong>and</strong> figure<br />
out math problems, <strong>and</strong> helped her navigate financial aid, researching majors <strong>and</strong> time management issues.<br />
GED<br />
Brenda, now a <strong>LaGuardia</strong> college student, is continuing her journey. “I’m in English 103 <strong>and</strong> Math 115, <strong>and</strong> I still<br />
use my notes from CUNY Start!” she says. “I want to show my daughter that no matter what age you are, if<br />
you want to better yourself, you have to go after what you want.”<br />

Eliseo Melendez<br />
On a Course Set for Success<br />
Eliseo Melendez had a big night this past February. He was one of two students asked to speak at<br />
<strong>LaGuardia</strong>’s GED Programs Student Recognition Ceremony. Having begun his studies in the GED Bridge<br />
to Health program in September 2010, Eliseo says he had one clear goal: “To study very hard for the<br />
GED test.” He swiftly achieved that goal, evidenced by the fact that he was addressing his fellow<br />
classmates at the ceremony five months later as a GED diploma recipient.<br />
Intent on going to college, Eliseo soon entered CUNY Start. The intensive 18-week program provides<br />
remedial instruction in academic reading, writing <strong>and</strong> math as well as other support services to prepare<br />
students for success in college. He is planning to enroll at <strong>LaGuardia</strong> this fall <strong>and</strong> will be on his way to<br />
earning a college degree.<br />
What does the future hold for Eliseo? He has big plans: medical school. And he says <strong>LaGuardia</strong> helped<br />
him set that goal. “Studying for the GED at <strong>LaGuardia</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> has inspired me to study<br />
further.”<br />
