Statement: "My ability to speak Spanish has developed immensely during my years at Union College. I was given the amazing opportunity to work at the migrant worker's clinic at the Saratoga Race Track and traveled to Costa Rica and Panama to set up medical clinics. I know that I will use Spanish frequently throughout my life and will continue using the language after graduation while at school in New Haven. I will continue with Spanish at Yale, where I will be taking a medical Spanish class allowing me to better communicate with the Spanish-speaking patients."
