Learning new languages has always been a passion of mine. I was born to bilingual parents whom raised me speaking both spanish and english. At home I primarily speak spanish to both my parents and my seventeen year old sister. I began studying bilingually at Nestor Elementary School in San Diego; this school is widely know for having a dual-immersion program where students study both in english and spanish. After elementary school I continued in a dual-immersion program at Rancho del Rey Middle School in Chula Vista, where I took a math class in spanish, as well as history, and actual Spanish language classes. After middle school i attended Olympian High School, where i did not continue in a dual-immersion program, however I proved my comprehension of both the english and spanish language by enrolling in AP Spanish Language, AP Spanish Literature, AP English Language and Composition, and AP English Literature and Composition, and passing each AP exam. Along with these classes another language I learned throughout my 4 years in high school was Italian, as i became fluent and passed the AP Italian exam, as well as earning the school-wide senior standout  Italian award. As of now I am currently trying to learn both French and Portuguese, and over time I hope to learn many more languages. My love for languages translated towards my college years as I plan to double major in Spanish as well as earning a minor in Italian.
