Learning Russian has taught me that I'm good at Russian and I'm happy. My Mom is happy because she wants me to learn and do well in all my subjects. It's my 5th year speaking Russian, and it is my family's language. Learning Russian will help me pass 6th grade so I can get a job at Carrs and help people carry their groceries.
