Ismael & Lucia

July 5, 2018 By Kristen Lapenta

Ismael and Lucia began their life together more than 50 years ago. While both grew up in Puerto Rico, they met in Connecticut one night while out dancing. They have been inseparable ever since. Both always struggled with English, but in different ways. Ismael was a strong speaker, but was unable to read and write due to his lack of education in Puerto Rico. Lucia, on the other hand, was a strong reader and writer, but needed the confidence for speaking. Together, they made the decision to enroll in English classes. For over 8 years, they have attended classes together at LVGH. What an inspiration, to see their support for one another as they continue their educational journeys.
