"I came here as a refugee and wanted to learn English. I studied English fully online at Columbia College because I needed to take care of my 4 kids. The grant I received from FAFSA and the scholarship from Columbia College allowed me to study at almost no cost. After graduating and getting a certificate, I landed my first job in the United States.
