Second Grade Experience During my second year in elementary school‚ due to the fact that I was doing so horribly in my grades‚ my parents decided to send me back to El Salvador to bring up my grades. In El Salvador‚ I lived with my grandma‚ my cousins‚ my great aunts and uncles‚ and most of my family. The schools in El Salvador were so much more different than the schools in America. Since El Salvador is a poor country‚ the schools couldn’t afford to serve lunch and the houses were much smaller
