My Interest In Studying Abroad In Mexico

This winter session offers a study abroad experience that doesn't interrupt my schedule in determining what major I will eventually choose at the end of this year, as well as earning credits to becoming a spanish minor. One of my personal goals has always been fluent in a second language and as a former student of Spanish it has always been my wish to rekindle the passion for the language I originally felt when I started taking classes in high school. In any job market the ability to speak a second language is extremely appealing and it also opens the door to traveling to any of the other foreign countries that speak Spanish as their national language, or at least give me a head start knowing the basics. As someone who is interested in traveling a lot in life it would certainly make things much easier to speak their language. As a student of this program I'm hoping to learn the basics of the Mexican culture, I'm excited for the opportunity to finally get to experience a culture outside of the one I've become so accustomed to here in the United States. I'm very interested in the social aspects of life in Mexico and how it compares to that of life here. This program is an amazing experience that I hope to be a part of because it's a great addition to my academic resumes as well the benefits of learning the language and experiencing the culture.
