For the past forty years of my life ,I never thought of myself as being chained to the power of the English language. Since I arrived into this country it has been very difficult for me to learn a second language,but I got tired of people making fun of me and also not being able to express myself clearly when I need too so I start ed to put my mind into learning to read and writing and speaking the best I could.
According to Socrates illustration “ Allegory of the Cave “,I I feel myself as a semi- prisoner from the cave because learning a new language for some people might be easy but for others like me it can be a challenge. Especially for the writing and reading part it has been quiet difficult. I believe that my speaking ability has been my strong part. Every day it has been challenges after challenge for me to take my classes as I am still in the process of learning. As time pass by, little by little as any human being needs to overcome there shadows and satisfied their thirst for knowledge, I started to cure my hunger by continuing go to school and make something of myself. I never knew,but learning another language is like being in another world. Even though, people on many occasions have mad feel uncomfortable I recognized that if you don't do something to free yourself ,you will always be chained. your entire live. Now, I have clear knowledge to free myself we this little power.
I hope one day ,if everything goes well to become a social worker .I believe that where there is a will there is a way.
