When the bus pulled away, Yesenia saw police and emergency workers looking after victims of a three-car accident that had occurred at a busy intersection nearby. Yesenia joined a small crowed of onlookers across the street. She worried using sign language, but he couldn’t understand her. ‘I heard him ask for an interpreter,’ Yesenia says. She ran over to the nurse to help—her mother, a former sign language interpreter, had taught her and her sisters how to sign ( no one in the family is hearing weakened). ‘She said, “I sign. Can I help”’ says EMA captain Chris Winger. ‘I was knocked down.’ Yesenia was able to replay to the emergency personnel that the woman’s neck was injured and tell them the name of the local hospital she preferred. ‘She looked really hurt,’ says Yesenia. ‘I’m proud that I got to do something to help.’ When her mother, Susan Milidore, 36, heard about Yesenia’s heroics, she wasn’t surprised. ‘It’s in her nature to help,’ says Susan. ‘I was impressed that she recognized the seriousness of the situation and took charge. Most adults wouldn’t have done that.’ A few weeks later, paramedics presented Yesenia with a gold coin and a certificate of appreciation at her elementary school. ‘My mom always says that you never know when sign language might come in handy,’ says Yesenia. ‘That day, it did.’ ________ _______ _______ ________ _______ ________ _______ ________ ________ ________ _______ _______ ________ _______ ________ _______ ________ ________ ________ _______ _______ ________ _______ ________ _______ ________ ________ ________ _______ _______ ________ _______ ________ _______ ________ ________ ________ _______ _______ ________ _______ ________ _______ ________ ________ ________ _______ _______ ________ _______ ________ _______ ________ ________ ________ _______ _______ ________ _______ ________ (60)_______ ________ Key: A possible version: Yesenia Diosdado, a 11-year-old girl, helped police and emergency workers send a woman injured in a car accident to the hospital in January 2015.

Nor is it geared only toward lower-achieving students. In Canada alone, seven percent of high school students reported using a tutor in 2010. That increased to 15 percent last year.

A special value is placed on education in Asia, where tutoring is viewed as an extension of the school day. As a large number of Asians emigrated to the West over the recent years, their attitudes towards education have had an impact.
