In 2023, she decided to learn more about Truman, which was just minutes from her home. That decision changed her outlook on education and her life.
Megumi’s time in Adult Education classes at Malcolm X College helped advance her career. Now, it’s helping her achieve her long-term goal of conducting her research in English.
When Megumi was in school in her home country of Japan, she was good at English as a subject, meaning she could read and write English, but she couldn’t speak it at all.
When she discovered Malcolm X, she breathed a sigh of relief. She found free English as a Second Language classes in a safe atmosphere where she could learn and make mistakes. She felt comfortable.
These classes, according to Megumi, changed her life. Now that she’s a more confident English speaker, she’s taken advantage of opportunities to attend conferences and give presentations in English.
