This episode is a story about me, introducing vocubulary you need to talk about yourself.
Let's get started.
Let me tell you a little about myself.
I was born and raised in Minnesota and I'm a native of the city of Saint Paul.
I grew up there with my parents and my eight brothers and two sisters.
I'm the eleventh child, so you could say I'm the baby of the family,
but I swear I wasn't spoiled.
That's right, I'm part of a big family, probably the biggest family in the neighborhood,
perhaps the biggest family in the state!
I had a happy childhood, for the most part.
My father and mother didn't have a lot of money,
but because they both worked hard, we never felt deprived.
I wasn't much interested in sports, like my brothers were.
I enjoyed reading and listening to music while growing up.
I went to grade school near my house,
and then to high school about two miles away from our home.
After graduating from high school,
I went on to the university of Minnesota for my bacheolr's degree.
It took me a while to learn the ropes at the university,
but I finally graduated about six years later.
Better late than never, as my father used to say.
I then went to Mexico for a couple of years to teach English and to study Spanish.
