Do not use subject pronouns in Spanish. (You'll be sent to the dunce corner!)

My Example:
Sé que mejoraré depués de que Heidita me enseñe más, pero tengo un montón de orgullo cada vez que uso el subjuntivo correctamente.
I know that I will improve after Heidita teaches me more, but I have a lot of pride every time that I use the subjunctive correctly.
