My experiences with the DI Program By Kevin Monares

Who am I? My name is Kevin Monares and I am of the first generation of Dual Immersion students of JUSD. I'm currently an eighth grader at Jurupa Middle School and take a class at Patriot High School; that of which is AP Spanish IV.

My past It all started in 2007 at Sunnyslope Elementary. I was enrolled into the program because my parents wanted me to maintain my Spanish. Starting in kindergarten, I learned subjects such as language arts, math, science, and history in Spanish as well as English. Ever since then, I've gained recognition because of this program. And not only that, but I've many friends through these classes.

My present About a year ago, our Dual Immersion class was given a test that at the time we didn't expect too much of. It turned out that me and two other friends were accepted into an AP class at Patriot High School because of our Spanish abilities. I take Honors U.S. History 8 in Spanish at Jurupa Middle School along with my previously mentioned DI companions.

My future I don't really know what to expect but I hope the best for my future and the future of the Dual Immersion program. I personally hope to use my bilingual abilities to help people in the future and to maybe use this skill to learn more languages. As for the DI program, I hope that there will be more languages to offer in the JUSD area.

Final Words I've talked about my past, present, and what might be of myself regarding this program. I personally think it’s a great program and it’s no wonder why Dual Immersion is beginning to rapidly grow where it is available. If you have a kid enrolling into their first year of elementary, please consider entering them into Dual Immersion. You may be surprised by the result.
