When I enrolled in New Sound I just wanted to improve my pronunciation and conversation skills, but I got much more than that. I stopped swallowing my own words and started to speak up and not be afraid. Doing that was hard, but now I feel free and that I won’t be silenced anymore. I learned that people are eager to hear me, and I discovered that my accent is beautiful because it makes me who I am. It makes me unique and I feel that it’s perfect. As a Spanish-speaker living in the US, New Sound taught me that I can be my worst enemy, but I choose to be my best friend.
