When I first came to the United States, I had a little experience with English just the basics. Maybe even less, and I went to 5th grade. I felt alone, I felt lost and confused. Nobody would speak to me, or try to get to know me. I would wonder if it was because of my English, or because of how I look. I would spend recess alone, and if I would speak to anyone they would give me such a weird look. All I wanted was a friend, I tried to learn more and more English but it wasn’t enough. Some of them made fun of me. I felt like I didn’t belong and that I would never belong.
