"Pierce College provided me with the opportunity to simultaneously improve my English by taking ESL classes, study toward my major, and work as a tutor at the CAS. I have gained many skills, including public speaking, leadership, and academic writing, as well as meeting the prerequisites for my upper division classes once I transfer to a 4-year university."
