Spanish~OctPoWriMo Day 11

Sonsonate, El Salvador

Told that languages weren’t her thing

She knew she would never understand

The embarrassment this would bring

Yet there was this quiet demand

We’re going to El Salvador!

Panic danced across her heart

Knowing that at this she would fail

This would surely tear her apart

Despite all this she set upon the trail

We’re going to El Salvador!

Learn the language she did

And communicated well

We went to El Salvador for 4 years.

The prompt:

“Think of a time where you surprised yourself. You set out to do something and you surprised yourself. You weren’t even sure if the goal was feasible. Maybe it was something you hadn’t done before. Maybe you did it against the advice of family and friends. Perhaps you had to war against your inner doubts to make it happen. But you did it anyway and you did it your way.

Tell us your success story.” Tamara Woods
