A

Hello good good evening, good afternoon, I, don't know it's six o'clock, but the sun is out so good good afternoon.

A

Thank you all for coming. Welcome everybody.

A

um To the 34th IOP awards ceremony, we have not had an award ceremony, I think maybe since 2019, because of the pandemic So today, we're here yeah so welcome everybody I'm happy that all of you are here. My name is Fallon I. Think many of you know me. Some of you have never seen me before, but I send you messages on remind so you know my name. My name is Fallon I'm, the director of the program, and today we have students. So we have Learners.

A

We have teachers, we have tutors, we have assistants, we've got security, we have everyone who makes the IOP possible here and I want to say. Thank you all for coming. So before um we start I'm going to introduce RMC for the evening. Marco Marco is a graduating tutor and he's been with the ILP for three years. So Marco.

B

Good afternoon, everyone, um as Fallon said my name- is Marco I've been tutoring at the ILP for three years and we're here for the 34th anniversary or the 34th celebration, um and this year has been quite an exciting year for the ILP and um I just wanted to shout out the Chelsea Public Schools and the Department of Education, for they have made it possible for this semester to have 18 classes, both online and in person. So give it around give a round of applause. For that.

B

Now it is a great honor to bring up our guest speaker to the stage Selvin Morales was a former ILP learner. He enrolled in the ILP in 2019 and passed his hiset exam within just three months, where he then started taking Esau 1 and just within a year, was able to rise to Esau 3.. After he finished Esau 3 he ended up becoming a tutor in the Esau classes. So please give a warm welcome for Selvin Morales.

C

I have been living in the USA for four years now. I am like very thankful for being in this country and have the opportunity that we all have like either for work or school.

C

I came to the USA in 2019 after my second week of being Chelsea I enrolled the IOP program, because I wanted to finish the high school, but by the time I was working as all immigrants do when we first get hit, um so I didn't have the time to be a full-time student.

C

I started the classes to get a high school diploma at the IOP program and I can say nothing but good things about the IOP program because they have been with me every step on the way since I enroll the problem, and here I am speaking. English graduated and still working to have a better future.

C

I know there is a lot to work on still, but I can say that I already know the language and I know pay some experience that it's not that easy to learn. English finish the high school or get the husband.

C

When, sometimes, we have more things to be worried about like send money to our country uh for our family money that we might owe or ourselves in a new country, but as long as we don't give up and put effort on it, we are able to make it I just want to say um thanks to every teacher that used to be, uh they used to work with IOP back then and to the teachers that worked for the IOP now say thanks to miss Phelan.

C

Who has helped me a lot since I since, since she became the director of the program and say thanks for inviting me this evening and uh I know she's not with IOP no more but uh I'd like to say thanks to Miss Barbara Sinclair as well, who used to be the director when I started. Thank you and you all have a good night.

B

Thank you, Selvin very good speech. um I wanted to touch on a couple things that salvin said. Obviously, learning English is very hard and here at the ILP, our teachers and staff and tutors.

B

We all just want to thank you guys for sticking with us and really for trying your hardest throughout this entire thing, because obviously, as I said, it is very hard and challenging at times, but you know you keep trying and eventually English will become a second nature just like it is for all of us um and now it's time to hear some speeches from the Learners in the classes. So each class will have one learner to come up and read a speech and all the speeches are actually inside the programs right here.
