Humans of La Porte High School: Ross Henry

Humans-of-La-Porte-High-School-Ross-Henry"I love to learn the languages. I speak four fairly well: English, Swedish, French, and Turkish. I was in second grade when there was a new kid that came to my class. He said something 'Turkish' to me every single day. He would say it continuously until I learned it. I kind of thought, 'Hey, I should learn some other phrases so he could understand me better.' It actually turns out that the kid wasn’t even speaking Turkish. He wasn’t speaking a real language at all.

I’m currently working on French and Romanian. When I went to France, there were Gypsies, and they always tried to steal my things. I needed to learn how to tell them to stop stealing my stuff in a language they could understand, and Romanian was the lucky winner."
