I believe that everything is possible if you work hard. In 2012 when I first came to the US I didn't know very much english, I did take english classes before I came to the US but the english they teach you in Iran isn't very useful in real life. The english they teach you is very formal and not the english you use when you talk to your friends.They also teach you useless words that you are probably never gonna use on the daily bases. English classes are also very expensive, in high school you are required to take basic english like the numbers and the alphabet but before that you have to pay to take classes.I am still very thankful that my mom paid for me to take the classes, me taking the classes helped me know basic english and made me not to repeat the 3rd grade or go to 2nd grade instead of 3rd. When I started going to school in the US I made friends really fast because I am usually not very shy and everyone in my class was being nice to me, expect this one guy... But when we had to do projects in classes except math i was struggling.The teacher helped me a little bit but they obviously couldn't do the whole thing for me.I wasn't sad but i was frustrated of not being able to the same thing as the other kids in my class. I also had to go to ESL classes ( English second language) which made me feel stupid so I decided to do something about. In the summer before 4th grade i started reading tons of books even though I don't like reading that much. My dad also bought me some books for kids learning english and that helped me alot. My summer was not the best but I am glad I took the time to read those books and take the extra time to do the practice problems because I think if I didn’t do that I would still be struggling in english. By the end of 5th grade I only took ESl classes once a week and was doing much better on the EOGs and when it was time for the ESL tests I did really good and didn’t have to take any extra classes in the 6th grade. When it was time for 6th I was making lots of friends and was actually enjoying writing and reading.
Coming to the US and not knowing very much english really made me believe that everything is possible of you try and work hard. I think that when you try and work hard you can achieve your goals do better at things that you may struggle with.
