Growing up, my parents primarily spoke to my brother and I in Spanish. My parents wanted to provide us with an additional language that would potentially benefit us in our future careers. Throughout our whole childhood, my brother and I were forced to only speak to my parents in Spanish. Thanks to my parents, I am able to fluently speak Spanish, in addition to understand Spanish that is spoken in a conversation. While I am fluent in Spanish and English, my reading and writing skills in Spanish are intermediate.
