Speaking Spanish or any second language opens a lot of doors in life. While the little Spanish I do know is incomprehensible to most fluent Spanish-speakers, it has helped me in some situations. The article Se Habla Espanol by Tanya Maria Barrientos is the story on how she (Tanya) dealt with the tribulations of being born in Guatemala, moved to and raised in the United States, and attempting to learn her native Language once again (Barrientos 645). While many of us, including Tanya, have difficulties learning a new language and understanding others cultures, the struggle will prove to be worth it in the end.

In America, there is a predominant growth in multiple ethnicities and cultural backgrounds; leading to the usage of multiple languages in the American culture. There is a growing need for many people to learn and utilize multiple languages within the workplace and within one 's own personal life. The importance of bilingualism and the knowledge of multiple languages is ever increasing, and therefore becoming more important for the younger generations. The push for knowing multiple languages and becoming bilingual has many potential negative and positive effects.

What's influenced me about living and working in this community is, not to take for granted all the opportunities that are offered. I am so lucky to be bilingual because having that ability can open a lot of doors for me. The hispanic community is increasing which makes businesses and health related offices eager to hire bilingual speakers. It’s important to take advantage of opportunities that offer to help you because of your background and skill that you’re able to speak two fluent languages. Some people want

Learning a new language seems to have only positive effects. However, for a Mexican American, accomplishing this goal brought him drawbacks in the interaction with his family. In his essay, ‘’Public and Private language,’’ Richard Rodriguez describes the difficulty in learning a new language and the sacrifice he makes to accomplish his goal. Richard Rodriguez shares the difficulty for older people, as they learn a new language; however, for younger generations is easier to learn a new language. Also, the new language creates a lack of communication for Richard Rodriguez.

An example of this is her use of the word state instead of province when telling me where she lives in Spain. The more times that I encounter people that are going out of their way to communicate in my language for me to best understand demonstrates that I should do the same for them and others. I may not become fluent in another language, but I feel strongly that it is important for me to learn some keywords and phrases that will enrich connection with my patients. It will be important for me to attempt and struggle in the same way to find the words in another language to show my willingness to cross into their world and tailor interventions to their

I am very fluent in Spanish now and I my young children are as well. So even speaking another language is helping us grow. Diversity in society helps us grow as individuals and opens our minds to different ways of life.

When planning my pre-medical schedule at the University of Iowa, I found a first year seminar titled “Journey to Medical School.” All of the fears, ambitions, and everything I could think of regarding my journey to medical school was covered in the seminar. I left the class feeling terrified, but more than that, excited and prepared for what was to come within my next 8 years. One of the class periods was filled with the intellect of students who currently attend Carver Medical School. During that class period, I was mesmerized by the way the students carried themselves. They talked with poise and grace. Listening to them talk about how their journey was going made my heart putter – I was terrified, yet excited to continue on my own

As a student, I strive for excellence in my academics and school involvement to pursue a career in the medical field. By taking rigorous high school classes such as IB, and honor courses,

In college, my desire for a career path in medicine encourages me to do my very best throughout school in order to achieve my childhood dream. The surgeries I’ve experienced throughout my life have taught me to be strong no matter how painful it may be during recovery because in the end, it’ll all get better. Not only that but of course it has helped me become more interested and knowledgeable of the environment in a hospital setting. My interests in what seems to be a difficult path to complete have inspired my siblings of mine to do better in school to someday be “as smart as Christian”. Due to my familiarization with college and what the classes tend to be like, I have encourage many cousins my age to continue persevering in school to receive the best possible outcome for their future. Although I am not the first out my brother to be enrolled in college, both of us attending STC, I myself have actually surpassed him with the many opportunities given to me at this wonderful early college and has prepared me rigorously for what future college life may be like.

I choose to attend the University of Florida for the culture of community that exists on the campus. The University of Florida has always been a school that wants its students to succeed, but what is the most interesting aspect is that the students push each other together to achieve their goals. We live in a society where it is a "Man vs Man" world and that only one can succeed. Here at the University of Florida, we challenge those social norms and try to create a pathway that fits for everyone. Here, we just don't have dreams, because as gators, we make those dreams plans and those plans into reality. Being able to accomplish or do something that makes your life fulfilling is what made me want to come to the University of Florida and continue to give back to the place that gave me the chance to improve myself and help others improve too.

A new school year begins the start of a new football team as the Seminoles lost several players earlier this year from quarterback Jameis Winston, wide receiver Rashad Greene, running back Karlos Williams, and tight end Nick O’Leary to the NFL Draft. Currently, The Florida State football program upholds the record for most recent draft picks with a record 29 under their belt since 2013 along with three consecutive times Atlantic Coast Conference Champions and national title. When the season starts, there will be players to watch such as new quarterback Everett Golson that will replace Heisman Trophy winner Winston. The senior was one of the top graduate transfers during the offseason making 3,445 passing yards and 37 total touchdowns in 12

Florida State University and University of Florida are both superb Universities. Both have outstanding programs and are both located in college towns. certainly, when you compare the environment and diversity of the two schools, you do in fact realize that there are the same. Although there are many similarities between Florida State University and the University of Florida, few differences tend to exist. Choosing a university to attend can be very stressful, Florida State University really caught my eye because of their outstanding programs, environment, and the cost of schooling.

Before pharmacy school, I was working as pharmacy technician for about eight years. Through those eight years I have encounter many scenarios where being bilingual help me at my job and also help the patients and pharmacists at work. But an experience that impact me the most was not at the pharmacy but was at the hospital with my grandfather. My grandfather was admitted to the hospital because of drugs interactions. Back then I didn’t know was it was, I just know he was not supposed to take the two medications together. When the doctor came in and asked why did he take two of the medications together, as I translated for my grandfather he have no idea that he wasn’t supposed to take them together he just follow pharmacist direction and his primary care provider ordered. Then I realized, I could have prevented this by translate for my grandfather. After that event, me and my brother taking turn to go

Before leaving Georgia Southern University I want to reach two goals, my professional goal being to be able to network with professionals in the electrical engineering field through an internship or co-op and academically to obtain and maintain a 4.0 GPA. To be able to reach these goals I will have to reach out for help from various people within my inner circle. My inner circle consists of my roommate David, my mom, my step-dad and FYE professor Dr. Siddiqui. My roommate David can help me with studies and attending meetings as he is working for many of the same goals as me. He complements my goals but is working for a mechanical engineering internship so he looks at everything a little bit differently than me. My mother can help to be telling

During my senior year in High School, I was one of the students that can get high grades but don’t have many people to talk to. So, I was always confused on how, when, and will I graduate from High School. Then I had the pleasure to meet with one of the school staff members his name was Dr. Urso. Dr. Urso helped me and many other students to cross the bridge from High School to college easily. He didn’t work in large groups, rather he will meet with each individual student and acknowledge their need to help them to fulfill them. Dr. Urso walked in every student show and worked with expectations to gain anything from it. This will be considered a Natural carrying because he places himself in the student's position, he volunteered his valuable
