My
relationship with words is not good. I have a hard time pronouncing and writing
some words. English is my second language it's harder to pronounce and write
words. I continued to practice and know is a little easier for me to write
words. Words have a good side and the bad side. The good side from words for me
is that I can express my feelings. The bad side from words is that they can
hurt people feelings. Basically, the word for hurting people feelings is
Bulling. Words have failed me when I was in 4th grade when I came to the U.S. I
started school and people bullying me because I didn’t know English. My
classmates, they did know that I didn’t know English but some they did know
Spanish. They asked me a question in English that I didn’t know what they were
talking about. But because I wanted to be nice I always said yes but they
always started to laugh when I did say yes. I got tired of the laughing and I
tell them thinks that I’m not proud of. My words that failed me is that I
should be more patient. The words that make me proud of myself is “Yes, you can”.
Those words mean a lot to me because sometimes I just want to quit but my
mother and father they are When I'm trying to help to benefit someone I will
find good words to tell them to stop or if they don't listen I would find more
aggressive words. I would not like to find that aggressive words. The artist
that I really like wants words he uses is Colin Powell when I'm about to quit I
look this quote and I don’t quit Instead I tried until I get it. This is the
words that inspired me “There are no secrets to success. It is a result of
preparation, hard work, and learning from failure. This words inspired me to
not quit and to continue to work hard to get my goals.
I think it's cool that you didn't quit and you have some great parents I believe the only thing we can do for bullies is pray for the bully.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel about pronouncing words. I cant pronounce words that good either i'm horrible at it even for new words but ill keep trying.
ReplyDeleteAlondra, I know its hard prononucing some words in English. To be honest, I myself stutter or i'll mispronunce something, but i'm proud of you for not giving up and always trying. Ignore those that laugh at you, they're nothing but rude. You're a smart girl you got it.

ReplyDeleteAlondra,
ReplyDeleteI had trouble with words too, when I was 1st Grade I spoke pure Spanish and later they taught me to speak English. Know I speak very fluently, but the bad thing is I forgot how to speak Spanish. But anything is possible, when word come in.
i understand that people do use words to bully. I was one of those kids in middle school that got bullied and pick on all the time.

ReplyDeleteAlondra, I find it interesting that you said at the beginning of this post that you have a bad relationship with words, but then you go on to write some very empowering things about yourself that could inspire other people. This is a great post. You may want to reconsider your relationship to words especially since you are able to use them for so much good.
