After reading the poem “Legal Alien” by Pat Mora I feel I can relate to her point of view with being bi-lingual and b-cultural. There are definitely more advantages than disadvantages when knowing more than one language. Being bi-lingual brings a lot of proud and respect from others like us (bi-lingual) and from ourselves too. When she talks about being Mexican, I can’t really relate to her because where I’m from, my country really support and admire bi-lingual. I do have friends who are ashamed and embarrassed to admit they know both languages, and honestly I feel embarrassed for them because knowing more than one language is such a privilege. Being bi-lingual opens so many door in the future, and we are worth twice as much. Companies now
