My name is Brandon Curtis & I'm a straight A student in the 10th grade from Arkansas and I am an aspiring polyglot. (A person that speaks multiple languages) In my free time I play the piano, trumpet, and cello and learn languages. All my life I have wanted the chance to travel the world and especially visit Spain because of its rich diversity, landscapes, and culture. With this program, I'll get to visit places such as Barcelona, Valencia, Costa de Sol, and Madrid. On this trip I'll hopefully understand the Spanish culture and improve my Spanish speaking. I see myself working in the future as a multilingual world traveler, and I believe this will help give me the tools I need to succeed in that field. On a more personal note, I'll get the once in a lifetime opportunity to see a great country that has helped shape our past, present, and future.
