At an early age most children from the area, including myself, are taught a skill that is valuable in today’s society, which is being bilingual. I recall going to school where I spoke English and then going home where I spoke Spanish.…

    Person High School has also helped me discover who I am as a young adult and establish better social skills through my involvement in their Varsity Soccer Team. My involvement taught me how to work with people outside my social group. Many times you don’t get to choose the person you will work a task with, or who you have to help, and sometimes that person isn’t someone you get along with.

Through high school soccer you learn the values of disciplines, honesty and responsibility.…
