I’m Not an Imitation of Someone Else, I’m Latina :: Personal Narrative Writing

Im Not an delusive of Someone Else, Im LatinaAs I sit down at the kitchen table on those chilly winter evenings in Kenner, Louisiana, I could relish my mother staring at me from where she was. I was busy doing my homework, and she was preparing that nights supper. She would always amaze off by asking me what I was doing and the only thing I would ever answer was, Oh, nothing. Just homework. Then I would turn away(p) and sort of look in the other direction as if to set up her to leave me alone, because I had a lot to do. At the time I was only eight classs old, in my second complete year of schooling in the United States. I had already fully grasped the incline language, and it had been a year and a half since I had been removed from the bilingual program. In actuality, I had become Americanized quiet easily. Although this was a process that involvedgive and take, because although I did adapt to my new environment very well, I never let go of what I had already learned in my p revious environment. I can recall that at the same time that I was eruditeness to read and write in English, I was also learning to do so in my native tongue, Spanish. In school, as I sat in the small wooden house, which was the bilingual classroom, I could clearly remember wondering why it was that Spot was so important. For more than a calendar month we had been learning some this brown dog and about catch outing him run. This possess was very strange for me, not only because it was in a all in all new language but because I never did really see spot run. I only saw him painted on an large illustrated notebook. After a long and confusing day at school, I would come home to do my assignments alone. It wasnt that my mother did not want to process me, but she couldnt. She knew little about the assignment , and knew even less about the language. At first I didnt mind. The assignments were easy for me to figure out, and if it was really problematic I would just tell the teacher the next day that I couldnt figure it out. She would ask me why I didnt ask my mother for help, and I would have to respond to her, because she didnt know either.
