My Travel Story

by: Lizbeth Torres Start Date: Dec 21, 2019 - End Date: Jun 20, 2020
I am Lizbeth Torres; a first-generation and low-income status college student. I come from a rural town in the Eastern Coachella Valley currently studying Linguistics at UC San Diego. In regard to studying abroad, my greatest obstacle and disagreement continue to be affordability. I've discouraged myself long enough with my "I can't afford it" attitude, from pursuing my long-felt aspiration to travel and learn abroad. American Sign Language has been of great interest to me since High School and even more now as a third-year Linguistics major at UCSD. This program is taught and ran by a UCSD professor and the linguistics department.
