I was surrounded by family and friends of my culture who always embraced and celebrated who they were. My native language is Spanish and even as a child I learned to appreciate being able to speak two languages. I love my Spanish culture and I also love the English language, so I decided to major in English and Spanish to improve my reading, writing and communication skills in both languages. My family, friends and teachers have inspired me to pursue a career in teaching. I love to learn and I love kids. I hope to be an amazing teacher soon, and if I'm lucky I'll be able to inspire all of my students as well.

Reading, sports, teaching and spending time with family and friends.
