The gifts of Mitzi Beliveau
I always loved to write, but my English was not that good. I spoke some French with my English, and I was also speaking Latin. I was teased at elementary school when I first attended both by the students and the teacher. Yes, I was shamed by the teachers because of my French accent.
In first grade, the teachers placed me in speech therapy, and then I was taught proper English. I then forgot my French language. I only spoke English from then on. Now I wish I still knew the French and Latin words.
I then had scarlet fever in the latter part of the first grade when I was learning English. This disease caused the hearing problems I had lifelong. Learning was difficult, and English was difficult, So I turned to write, it was an outlet for my feelings.
I now write to learn the language and become better at it. I believe if there is something is difficult, I should practice it daily. So I write about my life, the people I meet and my love of music.
I hope you enjoy what I write and excuse little mistakes I make from time to time in writing in English. After all, I believe my mind is still in French and Latin! My first two languages. I hope you enjoy my blogs.
