From Russia With Love
Rustem and
his wife Nina came to the U.S. from
Russia to help their daughter care for
her husband, who was very ill with
cancer. After their son-in-law died,
they stayed to help their daughter raise
her child.
Both
Rustem and Nina had graduated from
university in Moscow. Rustem had worked
in aviation plants, and Nina had been a
teacher.
After arriving
in Green Bay, Rustem started working on
English language skills with his tutor,
Carol Crawford.
"It was a
struggle to find work and communicate
with people when I first came to Green
Bay because I didn't know the language
well," said Rustem.
A year later,
Nina also began her study of English
with Carol. They have now been working
with Carol for more than five years.
Both recently
became U.S. citizens. Being citizens
makes Rustem and Nina feel that they are
truly part of the U.S., and both look
forward to voting. |
