    language.

    language would be my ability to express more

    included to our development as a person is the ability to acquire language. The first language I
    acquired is the Cebuano language. I don’t really remember how or when but I believe I acquired
    this from the environment I am exposed to growing up. With this language, I was able to learn
    and develop my listening skills, learn how to speak and my understanding. I wouldn’t be able to
    learn my second and third language which are English and Filipino. With the English language, I
    can say that I was more fond of this language when I was years younger as I was sent to a private
    school. It made me but not completely, forgot my first language. It broaden my vocabulary. As
    for the Filipino language, I acquired it because it was taught in school. Compared to my first
    language, I can express my feelings more on the English language and have much better
    vocabulary in it. However, the only problem for me in this language is that I don’t have the
    confidence. I prefer to speak on my mind than speaking it verbally. At some circumstances, I
    find the English language my favorite but most times it will always be my first language. The
    language that makes me free and comfortable and I believe, the language that makes me Mary
    Jane Baril.
