-I come from a Spanish-speaking family. Mis padres viajaron a los Estados Unidos para vivir un better life, una vida que no tenían en la República Dominicana.
-Pero cuando viajas a otro país, you take your culture with you y cuando hay cultura, there are expectations. La más difícil de todas es la lengua. -When I was a kid, my first language was English and until I reached high school, none of my previous schools had taught me anything about my native language or my culture for god’s sake. -Aprender español fue difícil para mí as my family has been dealing with their own issues en el exterior y en el interior. I learned Spanish the hard way by escuchando ciertas frases de palabras claves de cada una de las conversaciones de mis padres. -In the end, whenever I hear my parents or any of my relatives talking en nuestra lengua materna, sirve como un recordatorio constante de cómo mis habilidades lingüísticas son inferiores to everyone else’s. A veces, tengo momentos de duda. I feel like I could never live up to my family’s example or in anything that I choose to do con mi vida. -Puedo sentir en todo mi cuerpo que he perdido una parte de mi identidad. And I have tried my best to work past it, to move on. Aunque mi español no es perfecto, todavía estoy aprendiendo. -As a wise man once said, “el todo no es más que la suma de sus partes” y parecería que todavía no estoy completo. -En última instancia, no importa cuántas veces lo intente o qué métodos use para encontrarme de nuevo, I will never be whole again.
