Outside Wilson
I have lived in the United States for one and a half years. I live in D.C. with my parents. I go to Woodrow Wilson HS. At first, I was afraid to go to school because I thought I couldn't understand what people were saying. But all my teachers were nice to me because I'm good at math. They helped me learn English too. After one year, I can handle stuff all by myself in the school. Sometimes, not everything is perfect. My English teacher makes me feel sad. I want to challenge myself, so I want to take AP English next year, but she said I'm not good enough to switch out of the ESL program. One issue in our school for ESL students is the classes. Students are limited when they're choosing their classes. The ESL teachers choose most of the classes and students can't really take the classes that they want. I'm going to take pictures about their schedules, their classes when they're taking the subjects that they don't like. I want to show the photos to our principal and ESL teachers and leaders so that we can have more choices.
