English: School I and Citizenship Test

english: I'm ready to start school, according to Huffington Post Canada. I don't speak a word of English, let alone French. I'm five. But because my parents learned from their citizenship test that French was the official second language of the country, I'm enrolled in French Immersion anyways. This is the reasoning my mother often gives -- it's the effort they put in to make sure I would understand what it meant to be Canadian. And since we are in Alberta, I am bound to learn English.
