"My older brother said, “You know, there’s a lot of personal stuff in there, are you sure you want to publish it?” And I said, “Well, you know, I don’t think about these stories as only our family’s stories. They’re the stories of many families.” And he saw that was the right thing to do." "From very early on, I was motivated and wanted to go to school. Whatever I learned in school, it was mine to have and to hold. And it didn’t matter how many times we moved – that knowledge, that learning – would go with me. Learning, education became the stability I was looking for."
"My advice is that even though English is a difficult language to learn, with hard work and with the help of teachers, they will be able to learn the language. My advice is that as they work hard to learn English, they do not forget their own native language because it’s an asset to be bilingual." --Francisco Jimenez
¿Por qué es necesario escribir la tilde? Porque hay palabras que no siguen las reglas de acentuación. La tilde, o el acento ortográfico escrito, nos indica la sílaba acentuada de estas palabras.
