Seeing His Achievements Fills Me with Happiness
July 7, 2022
My name is Sebastián, and I am 6 years old.
I live in Panama and attend the Outreach360 Virtual English Academy on a full scholarship.
When I grow up, I want to be a human superhero. I want to be an astronaut, architect, English teacher, doctor, swim teacher, YouTuber, and world traveler.
English is an important language in my life. I’d like to keep studying it because I want to communicate more with other people, and I want to travel the world and do well in classes.
I want to say that I love you all! Thank you for teaching me many things. Last December, I asked Santa to bring you things because each of you deserves much happiness.
Thanks for your patience. Sometimes I'm intense and mom tells me to stay still. The teachers always catch our attention so that we can improve. 💕
I have learned animals in English, to talk about what I like about my everyday life in English, and that it is not difficult to learn. Thanks, Outreach360. I love all my teachers! Sweet kisses to all!
Meeting the professionals who visit us has also been important because I learn new things.
My name is Yanelis, and I am Sebastián’s mother.
This opportunity is of great importance and value to me. My son is learning a lot and feels more self-confident by wanting to converse with native English speakers. 🥰😍
Seeing his achievements fills me with happiness, and what better inheritance than studies.
Thank you for this great opportunity, Outreach360 family. His acceptance into the Virtual English Academy was the best gift that, as a mother, I received in 2021.
Both my son and I have learned English together, and I am eternally grateful for the whole team of teachers. You do a great job with dedication and professionalism.
Thank you to all the teachers for the love and patience you give to all the children. You are the best! 💙
My son did not even know the colors in English. Now he makes sentences and knows how to translate sentences, colors, animals, and people for me. The advance is very noticeable.
Recently, Sebastián wanted to speak English, so he went to say hello to some girls I heard speaking English. 😍 I was amazed! It was very sweet! He asked their name, age, and what country they were from. He dared so much!
Sebastian has also had a great advance in his classroom at school. He is the one who dominates the English language the most. He has gotten good grades, apart from that, he speaks Spanglish at home.😅 For example: "Mamá, queiro ir al bathroom," etc.
It was a pleasure to learn about the beginnings of Outreach360. 🥇 What a great job, and what a great legacy you leave in so many children in the world! 🏆❤️
I am happy that Sebastián is part of this beautiful project. I hope Outreach360 continues for many more years and Sebastián continues with this beautiful initiative.
