Journal # 3
In my third journal i am going to talk about my responsiblities in the house. I have so many resposibilities in my house because, in my family i am the only person who speaks Engilish and Turkish. Evertime if my mother or my sister or my father has to go to doctor or needs to talk to someone that speaks Engilish i have to go and translate for them. Of course i want to help muy parents, but after a little while it gates annoying that i have to run everywhere to translate for them. I have to read all the mails that comes to the house. I also work 6 days a week, and go to school. This is very stressful. I also have to deal with my fathers case. Since he got into a really bad car accident we hired a lawyer to take care of our case. The lawyer is American. Everytime if something happens i have to go talk to them and translated to my father. Everytime my father goes to doctor i have to go with him. I want them to learn Engilsh. My mother tried so hard to learn it, but she still can't speak English. She understand it little bit. she probably speaks and understands much more than my father. My sister is 4 years old. I can't wait her to grow up little more so she could help me to translate for the family.:)

i feel how do you are because i`m the one who speak English at home
i can convince you to go out and make friends.
That's a lot of responsibility weighing on your shoulders! The bright side of all of this is that it has improved your own English skills, I'm sure. How is your mother trying to learn? Once your sister is in school, maybe she can go to classes. How about LINCC? If she wants something less academic, she could go upstairs to the Language Center. There might be neighborhood English classes, too. Good luck with all your burdens. I'm sorry you have to do so much when you're still so young. You're a good son and brother.
