Thank you Swell for welcoming me:) as a child my voice was not heard so I carried this into my childhood. I am happy for this platform to come up
Thank you swell for welcoming me. It's a new platform where I can actually speak. I have a hard time speaking because when I was growing up, moved in so many places in the Philippines that I really didn't get to have well, I never really learned my native language. And then I got moved again to the city, actually Air Force Base where I started learning English

And I just want to honor your moment here on Swell and welcome you. I'm also going to Tag Giving Voice, which is a swell cast. I started to talk about voice and how we use it in different situation, so I hope it speaks to you literally, metaphorically. Anyway, thank you so much for including us in your feelings around this. Take care. Bye
Hi, welcome to Swell. And I can't wait to hear your voice. More on here. Yeah, I wow. I totally related to your story about growing up in the Philippines and then, like, moving a lot and learning English later on just because I was born in the US. But I moved so much between the US. And China when I was a kid that instead of being bilingual and knowing English and Mandarin, I knew none of those because I kept on forgetting whenever I moved
