Robin Moore, St. Albans, Queens

"The teachers have such expertise and they're so compassionate, it's impossible to fail."
Angela Mbenque, Bronx
"Before I attended the Allen School my life seemed to be heading nowhere. I had a 15 month old daughter, no job and was receiving public assistance. I started school hoping to better myself and make a future for my child. I doubted myself, thinking that I wouldn't make it through school, but God helped me through. Now that I've completed the program I look forward to a career as a successful Medical Assistant and moving up from there. Thank you Allen School."
Ebony Gallashaw, Brooklyn
"My life before the Allen School was a life with no career and no future. At the Allen School I am happy to say I enjoyed every minute of learning. I would like to say 'Thank You' for helping me realize that I can achieve anything, once I set my mind and do it. I highly recommend the school, for I am living proof that the Allen School works."
Maria Pickett, Brooklyn
"Before I was a stay-at-home mom. Now I'm a medical and office assistant. I'm working at the place I did my internship and I love it…The teachers are wonderful- very considerate and caring."
Nermala Julevic, Brooklyn
"The Allen School opened new doors in my life. It gave me a higher self-esteem, making me feel that I can succeed in anything I set my mind to. The teachers didn't make me think, 'I can't do it,' or 'This is too difficult.' Allen School made it easy and understandable."
Marie L. Lahens, Brooklyn
"My teachers have changed my life for the better and I won't ever forget that."
Reina Archbold, St. Albans, NY
"The Allen School helped me better understand what the medical field is all about. It's not the money or the recognition, but wanting to help people and enjoying doing so."
Jacqueline Bell, Rosedale, Queens
"I go home from my job each day with a good feeling. When I make a patient feel comfortable or bring a smile to their face or when they come in and remember your name, it makes me feel proud."
Raisa Hebra, Flushing Meadows
"Before going to the Allen School, all I had was a high school diploma. That would've gotten me a minimum wage job with no room for advancement. As soon as I graduated I started making good money, and [I have] a certificate that ensures that I will always be a place in the medical field. Thanks to teachers like Dr. Surrey, I know more than I need to to take care of my patients. And with Ms. Jackson's training on job seeking, I aced my very first interview. If it weren't for the Allen School, I don't know what I would be doing now."
Melanie Rodriguez, Brooklyn
"I was working as a child provider (babysitter), raising my three children at the same time. When my children grew up, I woke up one day and I said to myself, Now is the time that you think about yourself and get a job. All the teachers at the Allen School teach you with a lot of patience and a lot of love at the same time. When I went for my internship I was so nervous. But then a patient came back and asked for me to take his blood, I was so proud of myself. It feels so good to see that a lot of people depend and really care for you and believe in you. The Allen School changed my life. Now I am not just a babysitter, I am a professional Medical Assistant who enjoys my career and feels so proud of myself."
Daysi M. Garcia, Brooklyn
"After going to the Allen School I realized that the world is filled with possibilities…The teachers and staff are warm, caring, friendly, helpful and they welcome you with an open heart."
Rosemarie Harrington, New York City
"I decided to attend the Allen School for a better job and shorter hours. I had a lot of help from kind teachers and nice, caring classmates."
Hanif Haynes, Brooklyn
"The people that helped me the most were my classmates. Actually we helped each other. We really got the opportunity to get to know each other. We were each others' support. The two major things I received from the school were knowledge and friendship."
Jillene Goudenhine-Lopez, New York City
"Before the Allen School I was lost. I was so afraid to do anything. At the Allen School I learned to be independent and feel alive. If any of my friends wanted to attend the Allen School I'd tell them that's one of the best decisions they could ever make."
Sylvia Medina, Brooklyn
"The knowledge that I got from my professors will help me succeed in life. Go to the Allen School for a life changing career."
Marie Abellard, Brooklyn
"Once I came to the Allen School I liked it, but I didn't think I would be able to finish. But the teachers made me feel like this program was made only for your success and no exceptions would be made. This is a great program, run by a great staff, which is there for you at all times. They are there no matter what your situation. They can help you get to where you want to be."
Jillene Goudenhine-Lopez, New York City
"The teachers explain with clarity and truth. They made me understand things I overlooked before. By going to the school I have upgraded my job, and my life."
Yvonne Chapman, Brooklyn
"I was a stay at home mom with 2 children. Then an event happened to change my life dramatically. I was left alone to be a single parent. I needed to do something for myself and my children. I decided to pursue a dream and venture into the medical field. The reality of what has happened to me as a person and as a professional far surpassed any expectations. I loved and enjoyed my time at the Allen School. Thank you for the memories…for the times…and for giving me a future."
Stephanie Adams, Brooklyn
"The best thing I ever attended. Nice, devoted, caring people."
Joyce Mitchell, Brooklyn
"I never regret going to the Allen School. They take the time to teach you well. The school has some real good and nice teachers who have patience when they teach you. I recommended two friends of mine to the school."
Kenisha Kisto, Brooklyn
"Before I came to the Allen School I was not happy. I was unemployed and felt like I had no direction. Now I'm a Medical Assistant and graduated at the top of my class. At first it was hard to stick with it but a teacher gave me the encouragement to go on. The Allen School has changed my life and now I'm happy!!"
Jamillah A. Canty, Jamaica, NY
"To tell you the truth, my life before the Allen School was not the life that many would like to have. I lived alone and did not have any type of positive direction to follow in life. I always dreamed of working in the medical field, but I had a great fear of not being able to accomplish what I set forth to do. Fortunately, with the help of dedicated Allen School teachers, I learned the proper techniques for how to treat a patient…how to build rapport and empathize…how to work with a computer…and find success. Then, halfway through my studies, I was in a car accident, and almost lost my life. I was left with multiple fractures, kidney problems, paralyzed from the waist down, unable to have any use of my right arm and on a respirator. Right there in the hospital bed I made a decision to take what I had learned in school and apply it to myself. I did whatever I had to do to get back on my two feet. With the help of friends, family and classmates, teachers and most of all God, I was able to go back to school. I would never have imagined that by going to school and following a positive direction in life, I would have so many people by my side. Today I am happy to say that I have completed the Medical Assistant program, and I was offered a job at my internship site."
Ricardo Cruz
"I must tell this story to everyone who wants to better their life and think they cannot because of problems and situations around them… I was working in a nursing home and one night a nurse came in the room to give my client an enema. I looked at the tube and saw that she was giving the wrong one to the patient. I told the nurse and she said to me, Why don't you go and further your studies? I went to the Allen School and signed up the very next day. I knew it was going to be hard, but I said to myself, I've worked hard enough, it's time to take care of me. It was a sacrifice, but I won. It was hard because I had to work and go to school at the same time. But now I can look back and say I made it through, and I tell people, the same way that brought me through will help you, too."
Elowrine Dixon, Jamaica, NY
"My job before the Allen School was a tense one, being a public bus driver. I had to work most of the time angry. I want to thank Dr. Surrey. He is a real genuine teacher who is concerned about his students learning."
Jerome Rhames, Brooklyn
"The Allen School has given me a new beginning. They picked me up when I was down and held my hand, while at the same time giving me the confidence to accomplish the things I thought I couldn't do. Thanks to Ms. Jackson, I finished with a great average and was hired at my internship site and started to work immediately after completing my course. My job is so much fun! I work with a midwife helping to deliver babies. Thanks to everyone who believed in me and gave me a great start to a beautiful future."
Emily Ortega, Brooklyn
"I had taken 3 months of nursing training before I started at the Allen School and I was bored by the anatomy class. The Allen School teachers made me love it, which helps me in my job as a Medical Assistant. I can now answer patients' questions in a knowledgeable way. Likewise, computers never held any interest for me. Ms. Te, the computer instructor at the Allen School, made it seem fascinating."
Raisa Hebra, Flushing Meadows
"The Allen School has a great reputation, super teachers and a way of providing education that is wonderful. They don't care about age, race, color or how much money you have. Everybody is one."
Eliza Ankrah, Brooklyn
"Before the Allen School, my life was off balance and out of focus. Since attending the Allen School I am more focused and have found balance in my life. My inspiration was Dr. Surrey. He is a great teacher who is willing to help all ways no matter what. The Allen School is a great atmosphere to meet great people and have a brighter future."
Nicole Bryan, Brooklyn
"Thank you for everything you have done. I have gotten so much inspiration from [the school] to be who I am today, and a better person. God Bless."

Bibiana Cox, Brooklyn
"I love my job so much, I even go to work on my days off."
Abigail Mercury, Brooklyn
"My life before the Allen School was hard and stressful. I had a baby and I wasn't working. I didn't want to get just any job. I wanted to change my life, do something different and better myself. The Allen School is really great. The teachers are willing to help and listen and are there for you. If you come to the Allen School you will be really happy."
Eve Gillis, Brooklyn
"People treat you with more respect when they find out you went to the Allen School."
Angela Mbenque, Bronx
"My family is so proud of me. And I'm proud of myself."

"My life before Allen School was boring. At the Allen School I met a lot of new friends and learned a lot. Now I can look forward to getting a good job that's going to pay a lot of money."
Tarlisha Morris, New York City
"When I first started I thought I wouldn't like it, but I stood in there and as I went on it was great. The teachers take time out to help you one on one. If it was not for Ms. Jackson, I would not be working at the beautiful facility that I am working at now. The Allen School is a great place to get your career started. I am a perfect example."
Luetisher Johnson, Brooklyn

"Before I came to the Allen School I was making little money. I had to do something to make more. It was hard work but all the sweat was worth it."
Corinthia Lewis, Brooklyn
"My life before Allen School was very hard for me. My mother was very sick and I had to take care of her until she died. She was buried on Dec. 9th and I started school Dec. 10th. My goal was to achieve something good so I can carry on with life. Dr. Saudi, Ms. Olave, Mr. A and Mr. B were very nice teachers. I am now employed at my internship sight and I thank everyone at the school. Thank you and may God Bless you all."
Beverly Lewis
"I thought I couldn't do it but I managed to be successful. Now I look at myself differently because of all the things I can do now. I can't believe it. Thank you Allen School. You changed my life forever. I love you all!"
Hazelann Samuel, Brooklyn
"The training and the internship I got from the Allen School helped me find a job as a Portamedic. The lab training gave me the confidence and the teachers gave me encouragement. They helped prepare me for the national EKG certification exams. I will recommend to any friend that Allen School is the best."
Joana S. Ewool, Queens
"Before I attended Allen School I worked at a clothing store with no opportunity for advancement. Now I'm planning to go back to college and finish my nursing career. At the Allen School the teachers, who are mostly doctors, helped me a whole lot, giving me lots of help and support."
Rosa Felix, Brooklyn
"The Allen School is a step to success. Becoming a professional in the medical field is a dream I've always had. If you have a dream like this, you would definitely be making a power move attending the Allen School. The Allen School school is above average in my eyes. God Bless!!"

"I love my job because I am doing everything I was trained for. The person who helped me most is Dr. Dada. Always dependable, I could talk to him about anything…It is never too late to go back to school. I was 45 years old when I graduated and I am very proud of myself because I did it."
Bhagwatie Sookdeo, Richmond Hill
"I always wanted to be in the medical field, but time was never on my side, until one day while working at L.A. Weight Loss I realized I needed a career not just a job. It was a Tuesday morning. I was supposed to be going to work but I just felt so unhappy, I decided not to. Instead I made an appointment to register at the Allen School. My prayers were finally answered. Now I'm a Medical Assistant and I'm getting ready to go back to school in September for my Associate Degree in Surgical Tech. Thank you Allen School for being my stepping stone."
Lera Bertrand, Altamonte Springs, FL
"Before attending Allen School, I lived day to day to make ends meet. As I kept on working it seemed like the more money I made the more bills piled up. So I got fed up going to a job where I would be living week to week and check to check. I decided it was time for a career, not just a job. The teachers and staff at Allen School really helped to get me on my way. I now have the education, determination and motivation to make it as a medical assistant."
