Jenn "JR"
Jenn "JR" asked Michael Barsa:

Did you master the American "R" yet? If not, don't worry - you're in good company with all of Boston and much of the Deep South. :)

Michael Barsa Thanks so much, Jenn, for your question! I finally did master the American "R." It was sometime in 5th grade, after years of speech therapy, when it finally clicked, and suddenly I no longer sounded like such a foreigner. For a kid who was always trying to fit in, and always conscious of how he didn't, it was quite a profound moment.
