Growing together, learning Spanish and building lifelong friendships

When I came to the school, I could hardly speak any Spanish. My friends helped me by correcting my pronunciation and I learned a lot with my teachers. Now I can speak faster, and I love having friends from many countries and Mexican friends who are my friends from the past and the future.
