WHAT?

by Waleska Ortega

WHAT?
At first everything was so alien to me.
I looked at the street signs and thought… WHAT?
I listened to the people in the supermarket and thought… WHAT?

I had to do something, that is why I decided to take English classes.
I have been in class for a few weeks, but now I feel like building the world again, but I am no longer alone. Now I am accompanied by a new community that shares my interests and my questions, especially the… WHAT?
I still walk in the street and sometimes I don’t understand some things and I wonder… WHAT?
But now I have answers and I feel more comfortable with this world in English.
