Vaughn came from Vietnam at age five. And she went through all of our public schools. She did not want to be in this class. And so she wrote this letter. And she actually brought all her work from her high school. And she had poetry to share with me. And she had essays and a variety of different written work. All her friends speak English. She always speaks English with her friends in the dorm, and she "reads many book," she writes. "Please do not makes me lose the face. I have competent in English." Even though she received straight A's in English in high school, I had to put her in my ESL academic English sequence of three courses.
