A teacher once helped Adriiela Motresku find her confidence. Now, she dreams of doing the same for others.

After moving to the United States from Ukraine, Adriiela faced the challenge of learning English while adjusting to a new school. Support from her English as a Second Language teacher inspired her to pursue a career in education.

Today, Adriiela is studying Elementary Education and Early Childhood Education at College of Western Idaho (CWI). With help from scholarships, she is working toward her goal of creating a welcoming classroom for future students.
