  2. That's an interesting comment, Aichatou. How did you feel your first days of school in the United States and who helped you? Did you have someone like Gonzalo to "hold your hand" and guide you? Did this person affect (influence or change) you? Or did you affect this person?

    1. I disagree with fatou barry and aicha because if you don't speak English you don't need need someone to translate for you. however you may want someone to translate for you there is a different between need and want example when I came to the school I wasn't speak English and no one translate for me I was the one who try to understood by looking at body language or using it

    1. fatou barry let me tell you something that you really need to understand but you have to think big. fatou barry imagine you come to the school no one speak you language what would you do ? and do you know the different between need and want? and are so lucky that you have a person that speak your language in school. in my middle school there were only American people no black people or spansh people I was the only black I didn't speak any any anything feel sad they were trying to speak to me but I didn't understood nothing in that point you could say I need translation how ever schools like ICHS we are community people come from everywhere if you don't speak English the person next to you may not speak English too in that point you don't need to kill your self to Loren English you going to take your time and Loren it.
