More Than Just a Hobby: If someone had told me on my first day of high school Spanish that 7 years laterI would be a Spanish teacher, I never would have believed them. Today, I teach Spanish to 3rd graders with A2LP, tutor Latin American immigrants who are learning English, and volunteer at a Spanish-speaking school. Because of Spanish, I have been able to study and travel in 3 different continents and learn how people live and interact in each of the places I’ve visited. Spanish has made a huge impact on my life. Now, I want to inspire others to learn Spanish and show how it can be used to create mutual understanding between people of different cultures
