Brown’s English Story I first knew I loved English my freshman year, reading To Kill a Mockingbird. It was the first time I ever really thought about what I can learn from reading.

grasp the English language. Being in a foreign country and not being able to speak the language is tough, and it is easy to give up and stop trying. For me giving up is harder than trying, and I wasn’t willing to give up. This barrier lasted a couple years and it wasn’t easy to overcome.
