I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Secondary Education Spanish, so Spanish is something I am very passionate about.  I love the idea of being able to communicate with a larger amount of people, and the Spanish language itself is beautiful.  I imagine that being fluent in Spanish will help me reach and assist a larger range of students.
