Oleeis Vazquez is glad his mother is taking English classes at Belmont Baptist Church.

“It helps her out so she can speak better English to people, and I don’t have to translate,” he said.

Belmont has had English as a Second Language and citizenship classes for the past 10 years, and Dolores Vazquez takes a weekly class both at Belmont and another course at Odessa College to learn English.

She said she likes the teacher and has a goal for learning to speak English more fluently.

“I want to get a GED and become a nurse. That’s my dream,” Dolores Vazquez said.
