What language is to me is a way to communicate,express, and show how ones true self is. It is not a way to just write powerful speeches, it is not just a way to write very well known books. It is a way to show that you can be a very big impact in this society or world. People use language to talk to family, friends, and strangers. It helps people to be to connect and understand on a deeper level. Language is also like a double edge sword and it has it is able to bring nations together and bring unity to some places. It can also light fires, create chaos, and break into wars. Language is very imp-actual and also very down to earth for everyone. There are tons and tons of languages out in the world they all can sound different and similar but they all have one thing in common. Communication. They area able to speak and show how they feel how they want to express them selves and much more.

I don’t have much beliefs about language, although there is a lot that I don’t believe. I don’t believe language is the best way we communicate, we communicate in a few ways language is least important in that factor. I don’t believe language is a way to bring people together i think language sets people apart. When you’re trying your best to share your ideas and feelings and you get a response of “I don’t really speak your language”. that moment of discouragement  because your words were dragging your ideas down . Even now writing this I feel a small burning in my chest as if I know exactly what I want to say, It’s in my head, I feel it but nobody really understands my language. I believe language can tear humans away from each other, many of us won’t even try to communicate or reach out to someone who speaks a different language. Language bears judgement, I’ll be the first to admit I judged peoples intelligence on their language, I didn’t notice that me spoon feeding words into the the Spanish speaking school janitors mouth was to me, trying to understand her. Yet I was treating her as if she was a toddler, when in reality this woman’s knowledge surpasses mine and just lacked translation. I never know this until I seen my great grandma being spoon fed the same way and each word increased a rage in her so powerful, yet she would still be seen as less to have given them a  piece of her mind in Spanish. I thanked my school janitor after that day for being so patient with my ignorance, i thanked her not with words but with treating her with the same respect I would treat my grandmother. I believe language scares people, I mean imagine being in the room where the only person who understands you is you. You can feel the judgment radiating off your peers and you want to tell them to stop, you want to tell them you’re normal, because although they can’t tell you how they think their blank stares, hand movements and slow speaking says it all. You’d feel the rush of embarrassment and shame flow through your body at once making your cheeks feverish and before you know it your tears are doing the talking for you, in a language everyone can understand. Language is dangerous, Not being able to have people understand you, it can be as dangerous as getting kicked off your flight for speaking Arabic in a plane full of Americans who look at you and with their whispers and staring you know the language of fear.

Language is a tool of communication, a way to express ourselves. Language may also a carrier, it gives someone the opportunity to succeed either as a professional or a good communicator.

Language might also painful for someone. Being among a group of people who speak a foreign language, where you can’t express yourself, can’t ask any questions, can’t tell your feelings while you really want to talk, that could be the worst feeling ever.

I remember when I first came to America, my first job was in a McDonald’s, the manager asked me something that I couldn’t understand, he yelled at me and asked me if I speak English ? Even though his English wasn’t so good. I felt destroyed for the rest of the day, but at the end of the day I told myself that I need to move on and improve my English skills. Language brings people together and makes them understand each other. As a baby grows step by steps, language can be improved step by step
