Education soon became a __47__ "I couldn't understand anything," he said. He__48__ from his teachers, came home in tears, and thought about dropping out. Then Mrs. Malave, a bilingual educator, began to work with him while teaching him math and science in his__49__ Spanish. "She helped me stay smart while teaching me English," he said.
