Learning To Read and Write Twice

     I can read and write in two different languages. The first language I learned to read and write was Spanish. I was about four or five years old when I read my first book. At that time I was living in Mexico. After school my mom would help me with my homework and made me read for a total of fifteen minutes every day. If i didn't read I could not go outside and play with my friends. 
     By the time I learned to read really well in Spanish I was six years old. My dad would take me to were he worked and on the way there I would try to read all the signs as we drove past them. At the same age i also learned o write. I would always carry a notebook and write thing even if it didn't make since. If I did not know how to read a word I would ask my parents and they would help me say it and told me what it meant.
     Sometimes when my mom and dad were busy doing other thing and could not help me I asked me brothers for help. They always helped me with my homework. When we were finish with my homework we would go outside and kick a soccer ball around. While doing homework with them we would always clown around and they would make jokes but we always finished the homework.
     Sometimes my dad would come home from work with a soccer magazine and he would read it and when he was done reading it he would give me it and I would read it. After i got done reading it he would save it in a box, and every time my brothers or I wanted to read it we would take out the magazine out of the box.
     When I was eight years old my parents decided to move to the united states. I was happy but worried at the time because I did not know how to speak English. I had a hard time understanding the language. I would sometimes cry because I could not speak, understand, read or write in English. My cousin had lived in the US before I got to the US so she knew how the speak it and translate it. She was interrupted from her class a lot so she could translate what the teachers were saying to me.
     At the end of the school year my parents decided to move to Marion were I learned English much faster. The teachers offered more help and tried harder to understand me. They taught me how to read and then write. When I learned to read, I read most of the Captain under pants books. Over the years I have gotten better at reading, writing, and speaking English. Every now and then i have troubles but I try to ask for help. I think this will help me in my future because I can speak read and write in two different languages.
