There's nothing difficult about studying.
Nobody will influence and keep you from going to school.
Everyone comes to school.
And everybody comes in and help each other out.
That's what I'm very enthusiastic about.
Because I grew up and went to school off island
and it was hard to find friends with the same interest in going to school.
I plan to become a teacher for grades 3 and above.
If I teach high school, I'm thinking of teaching history.
From experience, living abroad
if you don't have education or if you dropped out
it is very difficult to get a job and living conditions are hard.
You have to think about your children,
gasoline expense and food.
It is very hard.
Sometimes you have two jobs and you only get 5 hours of sleep
just to make ends meet.
You can't afford getting fired because you didn't graduate from high school.
Minimum wage is low.
I encourage you if you didn't graduate, apply for GED and do your best.
Doing so will give you better opportunities when looking for a job.
We study Science, Math, Social Studies, English and Writing.
We attend class from 4pm to 7pm.
The subject I am most fond of is Math.
I have to study hard for the future of my children and me.
Nowadays we have to plan for the future.
Prices have gone up and life is harder.
My name is Telbina Philimon.
I am one of the students here at the Jaluit CMI Center.
I'm taking my last requirement, which is practicum.
[Talking about Distance Learning]
It's like the real thing, like I'm in their classroom. It's great.
I'm here but it feels like I'm in a class in Majuro.
Yes, there's something I want to share to those who plan to go to CMI Majuro,
the Jaluit CMI Center is no different from the campus in Majuro.
Everyone come here.
