For most people English is learned in school. But for my, It was kind of different. Out of all the things I learned from my family, English is one I am very grateful for it.
When I was young my family suffered what today we called a miracle. But as they say “When life knoks you down to your knees, just remember that you are in the perfect position to pray”. My little brother Reinaldo, got sick when he was two years old. He had a terrible illness that got him in the border of death. The illness is called Meningitis. The doctors said that he would never get better. But just when the medicine gave up on him, God came. My mother, did not waste time. We took noting and left to the only place that had a specialized doctor in meningitis. We went to New York.
There I learned mani things, Like, never give up, be independent and ENGLISH. One year latter, my brother was progressing constantly. And I was at PS 140, a public school were I kept learning this amazing language. At this time I was five, the perfect age to learn.
I am very grateful, I thank God for my brother, who today is a great athlete and amazing person. I am also very grateful for English. English has become the most spoken language. And even dough was passing trough a difficult situation I am glad I learned it. Because today it has helped me as a student, person and citizen. Today I can comunicate with the rest of the world, because English is international. Today, I can take classes in English, read, read the text books and much more. Because half of my family are from the states I can easily communicate with them.
In a future…well I believe that every professional should have a main way to communicate and in this planet, English is definitely the way. This international language has facilitate the way we merchandise, English is the perfect way to merchandise your self and your product. Because it gives you one of the strongest qualities. COMMUNICATION.
In a future my dream is to become a natural science doctor. I believe in natural cures and the power of nature against illness as much I believe in the power of English. Some people criticise the popularity that English has gain, because supposedly it corrupts our main language. Its something called “Spanglish”. Its understandable, bus till this language is a necessity. All we have to do is preserve and learn! Communicating is progress!!
