Hi, my name is Sebastian Delgado. I was born in Coro, a little city in Venezuela. When I was little, I had very bad grades in my English class because the language was so hard for me. However, when I came to the United States, I lived in Houston Texas in a two story house for one months. I never went to school there because it was summer so I didn’t learn any English there.
Then, I went to Sarasota, Florida. There I lived in a little apartment. I went to a school called Turtle Elementary School. There I made some friends that were born in my country. I had an English teacher there, but I didn’t learn a lot of English. There were only 12 or 13 kids in my class, so it wasn’t hard to communicate with all of them. I don’t like to live there because there were so many huge orange wasps and I am afraid of wasps.
After that, I finally came to Westminster, Colorado. Here it was a little harder to talk to people and make friends because there aren’t as many people who speak Spanish. In third grade, I started in Ms. Brallier’s class. I really never understood her in the first days. But, when Mrs. Gutierrez helped me to speak English, I sort of started to understand people.
When Third grade ended and I came to fourth grade, I knew how to speak English perfectly. I made new friends that I never talked to in third grade because I wasn’t as comfortable with English until fourth grade. In fourth grade, I also got a new teacher whose name is Mrs. Giddings. Half way through the year, I joined the Diversity Club and we have meetings about every 2-3 weeks. Learning English and joining Diversity Club helped me to be confident and meet to people who are different ages than me. And now, I am here telling you this story. Thank you for your attention. Remember to be confident in yourself too.
