Brought to...

by patricia   Jul 7, 2006


Brought to the U.S. at the age of two. Expected from mother and father to adapt the English language. When entered Elementary School. Mother would hit me, because I was too lazy to want and learn English. Seeing that it was something I need it. I decided to speak it. Years passed and a whole lot of shit would pass. Family problems that I was to young to understand. Affected me in ways I couldn't see. Yet now if you look at me and ask me... I'll answer your questions with I'm a whole new me. I've growned and understood many things. But you see not all is kool. Parents wanted me to learn English and for what?? I ask myself at times. If this education I have at hand. Ain't worth it, because I'm not "American." That's just some bullshit. But, I don't let shit like that tear me apart. It only makes me strong. My goals...For sureI'll see become true. I want to aim high... and I know I'll do so. Shooting for the stars baby....That's me 10 years from now.
