Do the Write Thing

I Will Never Forget

 

Aimee Ngankam

 

When I was in West Virginia, I applied to the CNA class. The first day of class I was afraid because I was not American, and everybody in my class could speak good English. The students and teacher talked about me behind my back. 10 days after that, the teacher said "Aimee, I want to talk to you". I said "Yes". She told me that my class was ending that day. I was very angry. I wanted to cry, but I couldn't because I didn't speak up. I didn't know my rights. I felt very bad that day and will never forget that day in my life.
