I’ve been here since I was 3. I don’t have an accent though I’m always a little insecure and uneasy about the way I speak. My parents know English but they have an accent so I’m always concerned that I’ve picked it up from them.

People have said I only have an accent when saying certain words. It’s probably just the South Florida accent.
Stopped being ESL in 5th grade
