Personal Statement
I choose World Language and Culture with an emphasis in Spanish as my major, because Spanish is my first language. Not only because it is my first language, but also because I love everything about it. After college I did not know what path I wanted to follow, so I was off from school for five years. During those five years I started my military career, and love it, until I was honorably discharged from the military. Being out of the military rethinking what I wanted to do, I decided that my best option was to go back to school. One day I just realize, that Spanish was not just a language, but also a passion for me. So now here I am in my first semester as a junior in CSUMB, pursuing my B.A. Degree in Spanish. There is many countries which their official language is Spanish, I would like to go and visit and experience their culture, food, music, traditions, etc. Here in the United State I have friends from Honduras, Nicaragua, Colombia, El Salvador and Chile. So I have been able to experience their food, some of their culture and the difference between their Spanish and mine. I believed that thanks to having the Spanish language in common, we connected.
I want to be a Spanish teacher, I do not know at what level yet. I am interested in being a High School Spanish teacher or a Junior College Spanish teacher.
