I lived in florida about 8 years ago and I remember high school being pretty difficult. There weren't very many mexicans at my high school, it was full of puerto ricans, cubans, and whites. I remember I was embarrassed to speak spanish because I spoke it differently than all the other latin people in my area. You don't think about your status much in High School, except the last few years when you are about to graduate, it finally hits you that you won't be able to move on to a university, or get a drivers license, but I was thankful that I had family here in southern california, I moved over here and now I embraced my mexican culture and I've been able to pick spanish back up and move on with life. Although there might not be many brazilians in your area, I hope that you can find some comfort in the fact that you have this large support group that understands what you are going through, good luck and try and keep your head up.

Boa Sorte
