Oh man, I feel like, in a way I'm like Roya's son. I don't think my mother ever thought I would end up living in the U.S. and basically live in English. I definitely feel I have failed to teach my kids Spanish for...reasons...but maybe it's not too late; after all I started learning English when I was seven.
Passing the TOEFL brought back memories, the score in this test determined your grade in the class back in high school. I can totally relate to it being the villain, for sure. That thing you said about making sense of vibrations in the air makes so much sense. Up until today, I still have CC turned on for everything I watch and I really need to pay attention during plays, movies because sometimes I still struggle understanding certain accents or idioms.
I'm glad you found healing and have restored that relationship!
Spencer! I’m so glad you spent the time on this one. It’s really special. The reader can tell that the hard, emotional work was put into the story and into understanding the emotions you grappled with.
I enjoyed everything about this. Especially how you tied in the play, rooting your personal experiences to something solid.
And the music was such a great, unexpected addition. I hope you’re proud of this one.
Che, querés un mate? This was a great piece!
