But they insist that its my fault, at 5 yrs old i made the choice to talk English. What a load of crap, sorry. I get frustrated just thinking about it. I'm actually leaving to PR this Saturday with 2 other friends =). I wasnt born in PR but my parents were, one from San Lodezo, n Juana Diaz. I prolly spelt those wrong didn't i ?
