“I speak Spanish. I have been speaking Spanish since I was little- my grandpa taught me a little. Once I got into school, I stopped learning it and forgot most of it but then in seventh grade, I started taking it again. I am half Mexican. I use it to communicate with my family, I am really proud of my heritage. It looks good on college applications and gives me more job opportunities. I can also travel more and communicate with more people.”
