JGT El-School, the best

I am Colombian, I arrived in Wichita Falls in 1992 and lived there for a year, before returning to Colombia. I attended my fourth grade at John G. Tower Elementary School. I didn't speak any English back then, and they got me into ESL. In less than 3 months, at age 9-10, I was already fluent in English. Mrs. Maria Cook was my ESL teacher. Mrs. Mary Easter was my 4th grade teacher, and Mr. Ray was the principal. My mother did not have any income, so I got my breakfast and lunch for free. I even made it to the Honor Roll by the end of the year, excelling in Math and Computer Sciences, the latter, thanks to the efforts of Mrs. Webb. They really took good care of me, and challenged me to be better everyday. I have so much to thank this school, because it really changed my life. After learning English the way I did, all the doors opened to me. I went to Med school, then became an Ophthalmologist, and later I specialized in Strabismus surgery. Most of all scientific articles out there are in English, and John G. Tower was the beginning of everything my career would be.
