- During pre-school and kindergarten, I was grateful to have bilingual teachers. My classmates and I were Spanish speakers and learning to be English speakers and writers. It was great because I felt very comfortable with them.
- Everything changed on the first day of school of the first grade. I was split apart from my bilingual classmates. They went to 317 with a bilingual teacher and I went to an all english class in room 316.
- I remember walking into the classroom and hearing everyone speak English. The teacher wasn’t there yet but my new classmates were. My new classmates greeted one another and there wasn’t a single Spanish word involved in their conversations. It was the first time I felt like an outsider.
- As I sat there thinking about my old teachers, I heard a clicking down the hallway. It was a clicking that was stood out through the quiet hallway. As it got closer, the class became more quiet.

- On Satur-days we do er-rands with Dad. He’s good at err-ands. Today. even tho it was relly warm. the Pai-n was wear-ing ear-muffs.
- Our first stop was the shoe store. The shoe sales-man took one look at the Pain and said, “We have some nice snow boots on sale. Half price.”
- Okay thank you Karly, now call on someone else.
- Aww man *whispers* Where did you stop?

- I was shocked to see that I did terrible. I felt alone and very disappointed in myself. Clearly coming from a Spanish home effected my ability of understanding English.
- The next day, Ms. McVay taught us how to do 'popcorn reading' to help us practice to read out loud.
- What now?
- Ms. McVay called on me to read the book.
- I was nervous but I remembered that Ms. McVay always told us to sound out the words. I sounded out the words as I read outloud.
- Something amazing happened as I continued to read. I was able to picture what was going on in the story in my own head.
- After I read another sentence Ms. McVay told me to call on someone else. After reading outloud I realized that reading is like watching t.v. inside your head!
- Reading from then on changed my life. I started to read in my free time. My favorite series at the time were Junie B. Jones series and Magic Tree House.
- My favorite thing about reading has always been the visualization of the story becoming alive.
- Now as a college student, you can find me sitting on a bench in the quad reading a book.
