I was born in the Bronx, New York City on 1960. Raiced in a puertorrican family day care while my parents were working. No one spoke English there.

Public school at the Bronx. For the first time surrounded by English speaking people during three years.

I was placed one grade below (in second grade) because I couldn't pass a reading and writting test that they gave me in Spanish. I took only one hour regular English class from Monday to Friday.
