My ninth grade was pretty cool until the last week of school I let my mouth get the best of me and said some things that I really should’ve not said and because I did I earned the next semester at the alternative school. When school started back I was very sad because I had to go to the “bad” school with all the “bad” kids and I was very nervous.

Otto, who graduated from high school in May, joined the school’s speech team in seventh grade, confronting her dislike of speaking before large groups. Through her experience, Otto placed first in the state of Kentucky in public
But learning French so fluently just from the classroom is suspect not only to the Alliance Francaise but also to the French police who interrogate her, a seventeen-year-old girl, upon her arrival in Paris. Eventually Firoozeh goes to U.C., Berkeley where she meets her husband, a Frenchman. The story of their courtship and marriage is also fraught with disagreements and compromises to appease their families and blend the two different cultures and religions. "My mother's approach to learning English consisted of daily lessons with Monty Hall and Bob Barker.

Besides his age, he is also immersed into a foreign land and language. The author has taken only a month of French in New York before enrolling in school in France. He is distressed about how fluent his new classmates, who are also foreigners, appear to speak French naturally while he is struggling. “Sounded to me like excellent French” the author describes his “young” and “well dressed” classmates’ speech. Making things worse David’s teacher is more like a drill sergeant as she “marched in” and starts to take command.
