By this time my parents practiced English with my brother , cousins and me. Games , TV programs and movies were spoken and seen in English. Kids around the block were always speaking English.

My parents decided to come back. I didn't like the idea I loved the United States a lot. My mom started to feel sick and needed to be near our family.

At this moment I realized Puerto Rico didn't have schools' with good facilities but teachers were very good.
-
Learning grammar and the writing process in english was kind of hard too much. I felt I wanted to go back to the United States.
-
Both languages were expressed, understood,written and spoken very well. I realized that my parents made a good decision to move. Things started to make sense.

I made a choice wanted to be a Bilingual teacher. The art of teaching came aboard on this moment.
