After continuing for years to write for his friends he finally graduated high school where he then attended Ohio State University to pursue a Bachelor of Arts degree in English.
It came to a point that the teachers had to make a house visit to speak with his parents about his struggles to learn the language. The teachers suggested that they start to speak English with their kids at home so they would feel less frustrated at school, and so Richard’s family agreed. So for the days to come they tried speaking English at home though it was something out of their comfort zone, they wanted to at least attempt it for their children’s sake.
