Fear Level : Moderate
My very first blog post must explain why you are reading a blog titled "Costa Rica Bound" (I am not creative). In the fall I am studying abroad in San Jose, Costa Rica at a small school called Universidad de Veritas. I would never follow through with something like this on my own, thankfully this is required for my Spanish major, forcing me to leave my comfort zone. I have been studying Spanish since high school but it was never a passion until I began taking classes in college. Learning a second language can open up sooo many doors, not just for a career, but to people you are able to interact with. As a career, my goal is to become an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher in an elementary or middle school. Right now I am about 1/4 fluent and I have taken all of the classes that teach Spanish at George Fox. Ahhh!!! This is what I hope to get out of this trip...
1. Learn Spanish
2. Come home
3. Come home!!!!!
Did I mention I am not very adventurous?
