I’ve never been out of the country, but I’ve always moved around the states as a kid. I've always been active, played sports, and maintained my grades. However, I’ve always had an itch to have new experiences and goals in my life. One of those goals is the become bilingual- specifically in Spanish. Another one of those is to experience the world outside of the United States. As most kids dreams, I would love to go to Spain and study the Spanish language, in hopes of attaining my dream to actually become fully bilingual. Not only would it help me with a future career, but it will also help me fulfill a major goal I have in life. I would love an opportunity to make this possible. I’m a student at a university, in a double major with a minor, who has a job on the side, and still manages to hit the gym every day. For the past two years at college, I’ve managed to be maintain a high GPA, and still have a little extra free time. While I work to achieve the money to study abroad, it would also mean a great deal to me if I could get extra help. I’ve always been passionate about experiencing new things, and having goals in life to achieve, and this is one of them. I want you to know that this will not only help me achieve a goal of mine, but it will also help me with a future career. It is important to me because I know that being bilingual would help me better communicate with people from different walks of life. I'm extremely passionate and motivated to help myself achieve the passions and goals I have, but I would deeply appreciate each and every person that chooses to give me an opportunity to learn about something new.
