My name is Yamilex, and am 17 years old. I was born in Porterville, California, my family decided to go to live in Mexico when I was three years old. I came back to the United States when I was nine years old. I entered fourth grade, but I didn’t know any English so it was very scary and very stressful. My only supports was my brothers because he helped me do my homework until I started to learn English. Now English is becoming more easier now whenever i can i help other students that just came from mexico because I don't want them to feel like i did the first time i came to the united states now I feel proud of myself for everything that I have accomplished.I am the only girl in my family. I have three brothers and my middle brother is my biggest inspiration because he is now attending UCLA to become a lawyer. My oldest brother got married to a wonderful women and now I have my first nephew. Even though he lives in Mexico, I never lose contact with him.my little brother is 13 years old and his the nicest kid.
