ALL ABOUT ME!

Image
I was born in the United States of America, but when I was two years of age my family and I moved to Argentina in 2009. Of course, my parents grew up there and after we moved there, we stayed for approximately 6 years. The reason we had to move out is because since 2016 Argentina has been having an economic crisis. After we got back to the US, I had to start school in 4th grade with no knowledge of English whatsoever. I had a very rough time in elementary as my grades were awful and it was hard to make friends due to the language barrier. However, in Middle school I finally managed to get straight A's and B's, make plenty of friends, have good test scores, and overall have a good school experience.   Almost all of the friends I made in middle school (Sunrise Middle), came to Fort Lauderdale high school, which has made my overall experience here good.
