Aisha: Mom, are you sure you don't want me to just order for you at the counter?
Mom: I want to try it myself this time, Aisha. My English is getting better, right?
Aisha: It really is. You've improved so much since we moved here.
Mom: Thank you for saying that. Sometimes I still feel embarrassed when I make mistakes.
Aisha: You shouldn't be. Everyone makes mistakes when they're learning a new language.
Mom: I know, but at first, I worried people were judging me.
Aisha: I remember that. At first, I used to feel embarrassed too, honestly, when you needed help at stores. But now I'm proud of how hard you're trying.
Mom: Did you feel that way? I never knew that.
Aisha: I did, when I was younger. I'm sorry I never told you.
Mom: It's okay. That means more to me than you know, hearing it now.
Aisha: Go order, Mom. I'll be right here if you need me, but I bet you won't.
Mom: Okay... wish me luck.
Aisha: You don't need luck, Mom. You've got this.
Mom: I did it! She understood me completely!
Aisha: See? I told you. I'm so proud of you.
