"Once upon a time their was a girl who was from Mexico which she talked Spanish. She moved to San Diego to go to school. When she went to the school the students talked english. When she knew that everyone talked english she felt lonely because no one understood what she said. She said in Spanish that she needs help with her homework, "Necesito ayuda con la tarea." When she told that to them they got confused and didn't understand what she said.
After she was trying to find someone that speaks her language. She couldn't find anyone that talks her launguage in her class. When the teacher saw the girl that speaks spanish the teacher went to go talk to the principal. When the teacher talked to the principal the teacher told the principal that she has a student in her class that speaks spanish. The principal got the student that speaks spanish and the principal was trying to find her a teacher that can teach her english. The teacher was looking all over for a spanish teacher but she didn't find one. So the principal decided to teach the student english herself.
The principal was teaching the student english in the morning before school started. It took time to teach her english. But when the principal was done teaching the student english she could understand what the students told her and her teacher. She remembered that at the beginning when she didn't know English the teacher had asked her where was she from but she couldn't answer it that time because she didn't know English. But now she can.
She went to class and when the teacher asked her another question she could answer it this time. The teacher asked her what is her favorite hobbies and she answered proudly because she knew English. She answered, "playing basketball."
Now she could understand when people talked to her in English thanks to her principal."
This is a story written by one of the students on my 7th grade case load. She is an English learner, her first language is Spanish. This is an assignment writing about the importance of language in Humanities class. I was inspired by it and it has become one of those mornings where I realize how much I'm inspired by being in education...a little something I like to call Education Inspiration!
