I learned four and a half years English in China, but just learned some easy words and grammar, so when I came to the US, I didn't know anything, I believed that many people had the same difficulty with me. At first, my parents always looked for After School Class for me, then we found one, they wanted 300 dollars every month. At first, I thought I could learn many things, but there I couldn\u2019t learn there, because students didn\u2019t learn anymore there. After a month I switched to an After School Class, it was UBSC. This After School is really good, I learned many things here and I made many friends, teachers were friendly and the homework was easy too. We could get tickets there, and the tickets could exchange many things, like pens, and snacks. We just need to give them 300 dollars every season, it was really good. However, our cram schools are short of funds because of the low fees. We need everyone's help. If you can, I hope everyone can lend a hand to help us. thank you very much\r\n\r\n\u6211\u662f2019\u5e743\u6708\u4efd\u6765\u7684\u7f8e\u56fd\uff0c\u4e4b\u524d\u5728\u4e2d\u56fd\u5b66\u4e86\u56db\u5e74\u534a\u7684\u82f1\u8bed\uff0c\u8bf4\u662f\u5b66\u4e86\u82f1\u8bed\uff0c\u5176\u5b9e\u53ea\u662f\u4e00\u4e9b\u7b80\u5355\u7684\u5355\u8bcd\u6216\u8005\u8bed\u6cd5\uff0c\u6240\u4ee5\u6211\u521a\u6765\u5230\u7f8e\u56fd\u65f6\u4e00\u70b9\u70b9\u90fd\u542c\u4e0d\u61c2\uff0c\u76f8\u4fe1\u8bb8\u591a\u4eba\u6709\u8fc7\u548c\u6211\u4e00\u6837\u7684\u56f0\u96be\u3002\u521a\u6765\u5230\u7f8e\u56fd\u65f6\uff0c\u7236\u6bcd\u4e00\u76f4\u5728\u7ed9\u6211\u627e\u8865\u4e60\u73ed\uff0c\u540e\u6765\u7ec8\u4e8e\u627e\u5230\u4e86\uff0c\u4e00\u4e2a\u6708\u5c31\u8981\u4e09\u767e\u591a\u7684\u7f8e\u5143\uff0c\u6211\u4ee5\u4e3a\u80fd\u5b66\u5230\u597d\u591a\u7684\u597d\u4e1c\u897f\uff0c\u7ed3\u679c\u90a3\u4e2a\u5730\u65b9\u5c31\u53ea\u662f\u5e2e\u4f60\u505a\u5bb6\u5ead\u4f5c\u4e1a\u800c\u5df2\uff0c\u800c\u4e14\u90a3\u91cc\u4e00\u70b9\u5b66\u4e60\u6c1b\u56f4\u90fd\u611f\u89c9\u4e0d\u5230\u3002\u6240\u4ee5\u6211\u4ec5\u4ec5\u53bb\u4e86\u90a3\u4e2a\u5730\u65b9\u4e00\u4e2a\u6708\u5c31\u6362\u4e86\u8865\u4e60\u73ed\uff0c\u800c\u540e\u6765\u6211\u53bb\u7684\u8865\u4e60\u73ed\u5c31\u662f\u73b0\u5728\u7684\u8865\u4e60\u73ed\u201c\u5fd7\u4e0a\u5b66\u4e60\u4e2d\u5fc3\u201d\u3002\u8fd9\u4e2a\u8865\u4e60\u73ed\u4e0d\u4ec5\u8ba9\u6211\u5b66\u5230\u4e86\u82f1\u8bed\u7684\u77e5\u8bc6\uff0c\u6211\u8fd8\u5728\u8fd9\u8ba4\u8bc6\u4e86\u8bb8\u591a\u7684\u670b\u53cb\uff0c\u8001\u5e08\u4e5f\u5f88\u53cb

By Ellen H Sam<\/p>\r\n<p>Back in 1989, while Christine Mok-Lamme was working as a substitute teacher at local high schools, she shared her concerns in serving local students and was encouraged to explore ways to serve these students. She recruited me to help transport students between Alhambra High School and FEC San Gabriel church twice a week for classes.<\/p>\r\n<p>Although attendance wasn\u2019t great but we were convinced the ideal setting would be a place where students can walk to after school and be free to leave when done. Despite financial difficulties, we started to scout around for available spaces near the high schools.<\/p>\r\n<p>One afternoon I saw a for lease sign next to Hallelujah bookstore and learned that owners attend the Glendale church. What a pleasant surprise! In fact, some of them were in my fellowship group. We were fortunate to land a short-term lease as commercial lease usually requires minimum five year commitment. Fast forward to today, who would have imagined we are still here thirty years later? <br \/>We started out asking people to donate some old furniture: two sofas, a couple of dividers, desks etc. and moved in. By word of mouth, students just kept coming. We also recruited volunteer tutors from our church. It was a hectic time.<br \/>The one concern we had was the parking spaces \u2013 would the city grant us the conditional use permit as a tutorial center with so few parking spaces \u2013 at that time, there were a beauty salon and supermarket besides the bookstore. We picked the name Upward Bound Study Center and incorporated it as a non-profit organization. Meanwhile, we petition for conditional use. The manager of the owners group walked through the whole process with us. <br \/>It went smoothly.<br \/>Clearly, God\u2019s hand was on this ministry from the get go. We were never short of money \u2013 of course as our tutors were volunteers. A lot of things have changed, but God\u2019s favor and mercy been the same. Praise be to His Name!<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-386","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-30-days-for-30-years"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ubsc.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/386","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ubsc.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ubsc.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ubsc.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ubsc.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=386"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ubsc.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/386\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ubsc.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=386"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ubsc.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=386"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ubsc.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=386"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
