I’m a bilingual 17 year old student. I speak both English and Portuguese and grew up with a polyglot dad who speaks Portuguese, English, Italian, Spanish, and French. In school, I was always the one my classmates would come to when they needed help in English class and my English teachers would always tell me I was their best student. I also won my school’s literature competition in 7th grade which, even though it was 7th grade, was a pretty big accomplishment because it really showed how good I am with writing and reading ever since I was little.
