"I took the Campus English Language Program in summer and I wanted to take fall quarter, but I could not do that, so I took this. My friends are still learning at the UW, and I didn't want to fall behind. At first, this program was so hard for me because I have a full time job and I didn't have enough time. But I have enjoyed it very much. Thank you for helping to improve my English."
