Mayra Cedeno, From English Student to Math Teacher
The road to achieving my academic goals started in 1999 in The English Language Center (TELC) at LaGuardia. It was here that I learned to speak English. After a year of study, I was able to enroll in the college, graduating with an Associate’s Degree in computer science in 2002. I was on the Dean’s List every year.

From there, I transferred to Queens College, where I earned a Bachelor’s Degree last spring in computer science, with a minor in math. Here I was also on the Dean’s List.

All of this has helped me move toward my ultimate goal of obtaining an MBA Degree in Computer Information Systems. I want to thank the TELC program for giving me the opportunity to learn English and accomplish my educational aspirations. I strongly believe that my success is also TELC's success. None of this would have been possible without the teachers' great instruction and dedication, the counselors’ help, and the staff's assistance.
