To be honest, when Stella was first mentioned to me, I think I grimaced! I didn't know anything about the center and it's definitely not as mainstream. I came in around march for TOEFL, since I started brushing up on TOEFL so late in high school and needed the extra help. The center basically befriended me, the people amazed me, and THE teacher wooed me - Ms Ngoc and I practically became soul sisters over the span of time we spent together. I remember countless of times when I came to class crying and venting about my day and Ms. Ngoc would hold my hand through it all. I showed her my artworks and she gave me food, like I said SOULMATES we are. Of course real learning took place too and with her help I got 114 on my TOEFL (my mom squealed).In short, Stella has its own charm and as time passed the center grew on me. To this day, I'm awfully thankful for the learning experiences I had at Stella with its most dedicated teachers and awe-inspiring students.
