I immigrated to this country with no English. I went on to go to college at 13 and Harvard Law School at 17. Now, my debut novel is about to be published. Pls don’t define value as a human by one’s English. If my 1st grade teacher had done that, I wouldn’t be here.

My debut novel FRONT DESK is about a 10 year old Chinese American girl who manages the front desk of a motel while her parents clean, inspired by my childhood!

In used to work w someone in post-sec admissions. She would constantly say that someone won't get into a program bcs their English was not good enough. All they had was an accent.

this sort of thing is why I chose English as a Second Language as my teaching minor and am trying to take lots of courses for it! There are many kids and teens who need a hand up with their English so they can exceed everyone's expectations!
