Education that works...even on the subways!
On Oct. 25th, an Allen School of Health Sciences student came to
the rescue. While Lia Chow was sitting on the train, she looked
around and saw a middle-aged
woman whose eyes were going up
and down really fast. Initially, Lia thought that the
lady was having a seizure or a stroke. There were some people trying to
help but most of the folks were evacuating the area. She suddenly real-
ized that she was wearing her Allen School uniform. At that point Lia
said to herself, âI can do thisâ. Lia got out of her seat and demanded that
everyone step back and make some space in order for her to help the
IN THIS ISSUE woman. Lia says, âthe first thing I did was to take her vital signs, her
vitals were very fast...over 100 beats per minute. I also immediately de-
manded that someone call a dispatcher and to activate a call to 911, be-

Upon deciding to continue my education I saw the Allen School sign one day. I walked in
hesitant at first since I havenât been in school for a long time. I was greeted kindly by
Eddy who is the person that did my intake. At first there was a little issue with the tui-
tion but, with the help of Mr. Cruz in the Admissions department the Allen school ac-
commodated me. They showed me that education was more important than the money.
When I first started I felt a little out of place because of my age. Allen School treated me
very well. Also my classmates are wonderful to me which eased the tension, plus the
teachers are wonderful. No matter what problems I encountered they are always there
for me even on their spare time. Teachers make sure students learn in order to enter
such a competitive world. They prepare you with such professionalism...it is incredible. My experience has been great. I
feel like I have a new family. Our class helps each other in any situation that needs to be addressed. We even stay after
school in order to engage in group studies. We have made it this far through a group effort by working as a team. If I had
to do it again I would not hesitate. I am glad I made the decision to further my education. It also has boosted my moral
and self-esteem which makes me a better person. This also encourages me personally to let others know that education is
where itâs at in order to succeed in life. But it also helps when you have such beautiful people backing you up and motivat-
ing you through love and support.
Julio Lozada December Student of the Month
Hello, my name is Kim Ebanks. Presently I am employed by Carl Anderson MD (Internal Medicine) of Staten Island
NY, referred by Career Services staff James Delaney. My experience at the Allen School has changed my life tremen-
dously and giving me the opportunity to become independent and the ability to provide for myself and my family. If
only I knew what I know now I would have made the decision long before now. I started working as a full time Medical
Assistant two months before my actual graduation in June of 2011 and have worked my way up by an increase in salary
after three months and have become Assistant Manager six month after I started in April of 2011. I am not only a
Medical Assistant, I am also a mother of four loving children who give me all the reason to make a name for myself, I
am not just Kim Ebanks; I am Kim the Medical Assistant. I am now able to hold my head up for my family and the peo-
ple around me. I have gained a sense of self respect that no one can take away. Before I started school I felt like my life
had no direction; nothing to look forward too and I had lost all hope for a brighter future.
Now my life is full of great opportunities, I have a developed self-worth and I am able to help Kim Ebanks, Brooklyn Campus
make a difference in the lives of others as well. The greatest achievement over all is the op-
portunity that this school has given me; the knowledge and power to take control of my life I want to express my apprecia-
tion to all that had faith in me during my time in school by saying simply to all. Thank you. My life has changed for the better.
