Blog 1 - Revision of Essay (in this case, the original essay)

I would like to participate in the Oaxaca Study Abroad program to not just
learn about, but experience Mexico's culture.  As an Agriculture major, I
am well aware that the related workforce is drastically increasing with
Mexican and Hispanic laborers.  I feel this experience will benefit my
future career goals and will give me a better understanding of the lives
of people who I am guaranteed to be working with.  Having taken beginner
level Spanish classes, I can think of no better way than to improve my
language skills than living with native speakers.  I will also enjoy
studying the rich history of the city Oaxaca and it's cultural diversity;
this will be my first time traveling to Mexico so I am sure to learn a
lot.  Between the history course I will be taking along with experiencing
daily life in the city, I hope to receive a well-balanced education of
Mexico's past and present.
