Eirini: "The VHS helped me to realise what I can do with my life"
"Hello, my name is Eirini and I have been now for over a year at VHS Bochum. I originally came from Greece and have lived in Germany since 2015. In the past, I never had good experiences with schools and that is why I dropped out of school. But since I am at the VHS, my viewpoint changed.
From the beginning, I felt challenged and taught well. Even my experiences with the other participants were almost exclusively positive.
I got to know the VHS Bochum through my contact with the Agentur für Arbeit (employment agency). At first, I was scared to go back to school, also because my German was not perfect. But my teachers at the VHS supported me well and now my German language skills are much better. The VHS helped me to realise what I can do with my life and how I want to develop.
I am really happy that I started to come to VHS and would recommend it to anyone who has problems in his life and who wants to catch up on a degree."
