When i was younger my parents always teached me to help others when they need it , and the one thing that i'm good at is speaking two languages , and with that i can help others communicate with one another . And i'm also thankful to my parents for giving me the opportunity to learn as i was developing instead of leaning as a teen because it would've been harder and a longer process.And that'll be known as a translator , being a translator is incredible because it feels great to help other and know that you have that ability to speak more than one language. And I'll be more than happy to try to learn another language because that's going to help me have a better opportunity of receiving a great job. I'm also hoping that I can travel around different countries and learning new languages and cultures . When I was 10 years old I left San Antonio and lived in Mexico for about 2 years and that was an experience that I will never forget . Everything was completely different , but the schools had a very low level of teaching English to their students . I wasn't really likeable because I was introduced as an American student in front of the classroom and it was odd for them to see me attending their school because they didn't think I knew Spanish . And besides that the English teacher sometimes had me teaching them new things because I knew what I was talking about . I honestly love helping them learn a new language because it gives them the chance to communicate with people from the United States . And ever since that I realized I loved translating and teaching others what others what I knew.
