First paper

The procedure for learning a language is very difficult, regardless of which language we are speaking. During that humans need to process a new language is based time, motif, practice, etc. in my case, two years ago I was in Dominican Republic, a country where the main language is Spanish. My father decided to bring me to the USA that was the biggest change in my life. The first did not looked like a challenge that did not come out to the street and very often lived in Florida, an area in which 80% of the habitants are Hispanic. And the talk was Spanish. Then I began a challenge for me when I moved to Clarksville and knowing only say "Hello" and nothing more.

My last year of school and I imagined graduating with a person next to me translating, because every day the language was more difficult. But I had a fortress and a goal, which was to meet graduate school if, being the first in the family of my father to fulfill that dream. Thanks to the aid program for English as a Second Language (ESL), failed to understand all the challenges that have to be difficult to make something in your way.

          The procedure in which I found myself was funny and difficult environment, as my teacher "ESL" was German and his assistant was African American, and spoke no Spanish but if the method sought to understand her. Thanks to my two favorite teachers made the decision to go ahead and fight to achieve my goal. With the support of my teacher and my motivation, I managed to reach the first rung, and I'll keep if God permits. I am fulfilling my dreams no matter what it costs me.
