Gina Rounds
well, im Gina and i will tell you about me! i was born in the Dominican Republic and i lived there for about 8 years. i came to the U.S when i was eight and i didnt know any English. When i entered school i was so scared and thought that people were going to make fun of me, but that wasn't what happened. At the last two periods i had to go to the High School to learn English and i achieved it after less than one year (i could speak fluently.. but still had a small accent) at the end of third grade i had to take the M.I.P.P.A. (the test had 5 levels and the first time i took it the PTO said that i skipped level one because i was doing so great!) so in fourth grade (at the beginning) i had to take the test again and i reached level 4.. and at the end i took it again and finally reached level 5! so in 5th grade i didnt have to take anymore english classes, and my score for MCAS was advanced (the highest score in the whole school) there was a point in my life that it was awful thankfully words don't hurt me. So from that i learned that even i do befriend people i don't make anyone my BFF and i don't make anybody my enemy! So i just ignore her and while she waists her life and time bothering i just dont care what she says, ignore her, and i live my life not caring what people say! IM NOW GOING INTO THE 6TH GRADE AND ITS SUMMER NOW, JUST ENJOYING LIFE!
