Well, as we approach the start of a new school year, I’ve been thinking a lot about that phrase and how it applies to education. Put another way, a little learning can take you unexpected places – maybe even from an academic to a career track and back again, or vice versa. There’s no either/or about it since one often leads to and supplements the other. That’s certainly been true for Interpreting student Isabelle De Breu, who started her Brookdale studies on the credit side, studying math and science while working as a server. Though she didn’t know yet what she wanted to do professionally, Isabelle did know she wanted to use her talent to help people in her native Brazil. When she heard about our Interpreting program, she saw it as a possible way to achieve her goal. Not only did she sign on for the class, she so impressed her instructor that she was selected to speak at the CPS Spring 2017 Completion Ceremony. I am still inspired recalling her words about the importance of persistence, and of faith and family, and of knowing that, no matter what challenges you face, help is available if you’ll only ask. I remembered those words when she applied for the scholarship my family started in my dad’s memory. In 2018, Isabelle became the first recipient of the Paul Ali Memorial Scholarship. Since then she’s become, more than that, a friend – someone I check in with regularly and whose progress I look forward to following for years to come. Where will she go from here? Possibly, after finishing up her Brookdale associate degree on to Rutgers for her bachelor degree. Then again, having seen the impact breaking the language barrier can have, says Isabelle, she may apply for a Brazilian work-study grant that would allow her to teach English in exchange for free tuition. Given the way one thing leads to another, her opportunities are boundless. What is sure is that with every new course Isabelle takes, career or credit – she’ll come away with new knowledge, new skills, new connections, new options. This fall, why not see where a class at Brookdale can take you?
