Based on Amy Tan’s “Mother Tongue”(Tan‚ 76-81) it is evident that language has an affect on our lives. Language defines the type of person I am generally and it has had an affect on my choices as well as my lifestyle. Language has become my way of seeing life in a different perspective. In Amy Tan’s “Mother Tongue”(Tan‚ 76) she discusses the way the language that she was taught affected her life in so many ways. I can definitely relate to Tan’s essay since I as well came from a bilingual home. Like

1. If my memory serves my correct‚ “The Best Teacher” I remember is my 5th grade teacher‚ Mrs. Hawthorne. She taught at Stamford Middle School in Stamford‚ CT. Mrs. Hawthorne was tough‚ patient‚ caring‚ and didn’t mind going that extra mile for any of her students education. Whether it was staying afterschool‚ coming to your house for parent-teacher conferences‚ or even buying school materials for students that couldn’t afford them. Mrs. Hawthorne‚ to me‚ was the definition of a GREAT teacher.
