[zozo_dropcap color=””]I[/zozo_dropcap]t was so easy to start a conversation with Melina. All began with a game trying to figure out where she was from. The only clue I had was her accent and I kept failing at every try. I finally gave up. Melina is from São Paulo, Brasil, and moved to San Francisco almost a year ago. During this time she has already been to 3 different english schools in the city trying to keep her student visa active. In order to pay for her tuitions she is working for Lyft, and she loves it! She is not just making money out of it but also improving her speaking skills. Unfortunately, Melina can not keep jumping from school to school and she can not afford to go to City College. The only option she is left with is to find a job as an accountant that can sponsor her. Melina was full of energy and had a big smile, I truly wish her dreams come true.
