Becoming A Legislator

Coming from a new country I had to face many challenges. All these challenges made who I am today. When I came to the United States in 7th grade, I barely knew how to speak English. The language barrier posed a serious problem for me. I found it difficult to interact with people. Adjusting to a new country was no easy task. When my family and I came to this country, we knew only one other family. It was even more difficult for my parents who knew virtually no English. They had to learn how to work and provide for me and my siblings in this entirely new country with a completely different culture. Despite having a better background in English, it still took me over two years to become fluent in English. Although coming to America and having

I believe I grown as a student for skills for Academic because ,in Spanish class I write but I have no idea in what I was writting ,I didn't know how to write Spanish at all niether how to read. I really didn't know if the words u said in Spanish were actual words in Spanish ,or if they didn't even exists. In Spanish me and all my classmates had to write a letter to our parents thanking them for coming to the United States ,so we could have a better life. This letter helped me in Spanish, now I don't misspell words as much as I use to,I understand what Iam writting.

My parents come from a small town in Michoacán, Mexico. Growing up, my first language was Spanish. There were situations where I would be embarrassed of my parents for not knowing how to speak English. People would give mean looks and give off a rude tone because of the fact they couldn't speak English. I was a shy person, so I didn't know how to defend my parents but those experiences shaped me into the person who is not embarrassed about having Mexican parents and helps them around with their English. I am a proud and lucky to be the daughter of Mexican parents. Aside from that, I had been an only child till I was eight years old. The day my sister was born, I knew she will be my best friend forever. She is now ten years old and looks up

For my parent’s, language was and still is a constant struggle doing things that seem easy to most people can be difficult for them. Things like ordering food at a fast food restaurant and asking for help at the grocery store seem may easy for most people but can sometimes be challenging for my parents. My brother and I try to help as much as we can by translating. I found it extremely helpful since it helped me stay connected to both languages. Now it is not as hard for my parents since they have picked up a lot of the language and there are different recourses.

My parents came from Mexico to the United States for a better life, like many other families. My parents were not privileged enough to make it past a middle school education. They worked very hard so that my siblings and I could succeed in America. Therefore, I felt bad whenever I asked for help on homework because what if they couldn’t help me? I never wanted to make them feel bad for not knowing English. Instead I struggled through it on my own because I was going to be the one they could depend on, later in life due to my education. Instead of letting my parents go through the struggle, I did everything on my own. I struggled so that they could later depend on me.

Second languages are vital. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have the ability to speak ten out of the near seven thousand languages that are spoken in the world today? It is certainly evident that it would be pretty astonishing but also undoubtedly complex and mind-boggling. From Afrikaans and French, to German and Swahili, foreign languages are responsible for one thing; enabling easy communication and the ability to interact with others in whatever language you may speak. In today’s society, approximately one fifth of the global population speaks English. So, learning another language is inevitably crucial for education, work and travel. It is also important for making real connections with others, broadening your horizons and can even give you an even more in-depth understanding of your own native language. But what advantages do foreign languages have?

The U.S. Congress is one of our country's most important representative branches. It's purpose mainly consists of confirming and authorizing the national leadership's decisions. In Congress, there are 535 members, all of which have been chosen by the people. The people vote and decide who they want to represent them. One question that is asked abundantly is "Should a member of Congress put the interests of his or her constituents ahead of the nations?" The way a Congressman expresses an answer to this question can classify them as a delegate or a trustee.

I moved to America from Albania when I was little. English was not my first language so, I had to learn it by practicing my fellow classmates' example. I was a part of HILT, High-Intensity Language Training, in elementary school to help my language barriers. Before middle school began, teachers thought I no longer needed HILT. It was because I had worked hard to get be in the same place most other students were in. In high school, I found things I was passionate about. In my sophomore year, I joined Future Business Leaders of America and became joined the mentor

- I think that our national legislators in Congress and the Senate should be responsive to the national majority of American citizens and the interests of the nation as well as to the voters of their districts and the most mobilized voices who might influence the voters in their districts. Legislators should always keep the nation;s interests in mind so that Congress can be more secure on voting

with you it would be nice to speak that language. Even if you don’t know that

One of the toughest roles in government is that of a legislator. Lots and lots of bills are thrown your way and you must decide how to vote on them. It is not simply a “yes” or “no” proposition. You must also take into account your personal beliefs, the beliefs of your constituents (who also hold the key to your reelection) as well as other stakeholders.

I learned how to love others in many different ways and to love myself. They showed me the importance of friendship with how they loved and helped each other and how they loved us just for being us. I figured out how insignificant differences can be even if they are as big as a language barrier if you are willing to be patient and creative. Affection and touch became our main way of communication and continues to be a way that I show my thoughts and feelings. Somehow, I managed to learn more about myself and the world around me from a short period of time with children of a different culture and language than I ever thought

    Over the years of having to be my parent translator for them i have never felt appreciated by them in any sort of way. Sometimes in life you want you to feel recognition specially coming from parents. I would have liked to feel appreciated for the help over the years.

I think what really sets me apart from other candidates is my ability of interacting with all kinds of people. I believe the benefit of being bilingual will be very helpful to communicate with people. Although if I'm hired to this job it would be my first job, I consider myself a fast learner. I noticed the position that I applied for involves interacting with customers. I'm excited by the prospect of bringing of commitment and enthusiasm to this new and exciting opportunuity and I think this position would be a great fit for
