Portugueseian? really? It's like you tried too hard...

What inspired you to post that? :-X

hmm

If you are born in the U.S. English should be your first language and you should know it almost perfectly. I mean come on, how can you have English as a second language when you were born in and live in an English Speaking country? that doesn't make much sense to me. :-\

Ok u need to know that i come from Mexican mom and dad.  That makes me full blooded mexican its just the fact that i was born in the US so that makes me a Mexican American and since my mom and dad didnt know english when i was born they talked to me in spanish and that became my first language. Until i went to school and learned english so it became my second language.

no they were here for a couple idk how many months or years and then they had there perfect sons a.k.a. Oscar (me) and my bro Sam

A failure; as an explanation --even worse-- as an excuse.

You were born in US. You have been living as a US / American citizen ever since. If I were to have a guess at your age, I would say you are around thirteen; which leaves you with around seven years of full-practicing and learning the language. It doesn't matter whether your parents are Mexicans or Chinese; not to the issue at question, I am afraid. To put it in context, it is in the age of thirteen that school pressures the most in regards to grammar learning, phrase construction and its structure --which further supports the logical sense to assume you are "cool" enough to skip classes-- Very brave and commendable, sir.

Give up on the pride of being an outcast.
There is nothing great in being a retard.
Either be a wise outcast, or follow the crowd otherwise.

Those are my three suggestions for you.

i did skip alot of class time and ive never did so great on my test or my finals but im sure that im going to graduate this damn year and still keep going to college

AJ, here's your answer about college. You shouldn't go because there's people like Thor that need it a whole hell of a lot more...

In a perfect world that would make sense, but in the United States today I will be considered much more qualified for a job if I have a college degree, and its value is many times better if from a prestigious university. Marquette University is not very "prestigious", but it is my goal (unless of course I am accepted by the University of Wisconsin at Madison by some miracle).
