Statement: "Studying Spanish has been a great opportunity for me to improve my communication skills and increase my awareness of Spanish and Latin American cultures. My term abroad in Cuernavaca, Mexico was essential to the development of my language skills and my appreciation for Hispanic cultures. I hope to continue to be a student of the language by incorporating Spanish into my travels abroad and my future career."
