Trina's book is a series of poems based on the early days of courtship between her and her husband. Trina has a degree in Creative Writing from University of San Francisco and has been writing "forever."

My First Election Day
BY LEARNER LETICIA BUENROSTRO
I was busy all morning trying to finish everything by 3:30 pm to be ready to vote. When I arrived to the polling place I was nervous because it was my first time. The line was very long but when I turned around I was relieved to see a friend, so I went back to stay near her. I asked her, “What do I have to do to vote?”

Each year, Newport/Mesa ProLiteracy publishes a collection of learner writings consisting of stories, personal essays and poetry. Entitled In Our Own Words, the books are distributed at the annual International Literacy Day celebration, this year held on September 12, 2013.

The thousands of hours of service this past year from hundreds of volunteers are truly something to celebrate!
