Barriers and lessons
(TEXT FROM SOUND BITE)
"When I first went to school, I didn't speak any English. I was the little immigrant boy who had a hard time in the first few years in the school system.
"There weren't that many Portuguese kids when I was going to school. Then I went to a junior high where there were more Portuguese kids. At that point I could speak English fluently so it wasn't that big of a barrier.
"I tried to fit in with everyone else, but through time I realized that I was a little bit different. Different was a good thing. Obviously I learned to speak English fluently but I stayed true to myself."
