Dear, Molly 

When writing this my intentions where to reach those who are Hispanic or immigrants that felt anything close to what I felt and that they were not the only ones going through the hardship of adapting into a new language and environment. That there no such thing as “broken” English and that having our own way of viewing and describing something is normal because not two people have the same way of processing things.  

Through drafting this essay, I managed to obtain a beautiful insight into how our literacy and language varies depending on the way we understand and view things. Not one person in this world that speaks more than one language is going to speak to them the same compared to others, reasoning to what I had said before. And this was something that did not even come to mind until I started this class. 

Having the opportunity to do this assignment has made me develop strategies for drafting, collaborating with my classmates into getting advice in bettering my drafts which helped me edit and revise my own work for the better something that would have been hard to do on my own. Having other people read your work can be stressful because you never know what others are going to think of your work. However, this was a great outcome because I was able to Engage in the collaborative and social aspects of writing processes with my peers
