I had a little bit of a realization about college today, and I thought I would share it with you all.

Today, I had the opportunity to listen to a man who is a part of Witness for Peace, a human rights group that supports peace and justice, speak about the corruption in Honduras after the coup in 2009. I loved this experience because I got to listen to a man, form Honduras, speak about his experience and I also loved it because I learned so much. I also really love this presentation because it was in Spanish. There was an interpreter there, but it was so amazing to see someone speak so passionately about something. It's also my fifth year learning Spanish, so it was really cool to be able to actually understand most of the presentation. I bring this experience up because I realized just how lucky I am to be furthering my education and that I get to go to presentations like this for free and learn about different cultures and what is going on in the world.

I love college because I realized just how lucky I am that I decided to learn another language and that I have had amazing teachers from all different parts of the world teach me Spanish. Yes, college can be extremely difficult at times, but think about how much you are actually learning. You are learning actual material, but you are also learning life lessons and more about yourself. That's a lot of learning, and it's so good! Sure, there are some classes that you probably hate, but I bet that you have learned something valuable from that class, whether it be from actual class material, or life lessons from your professor. I've learned so much about myself this past year and few months than I have my entire life and I'm really happy about that.

I also love college because it taught me how much my family means to me. I have older sisters and I miss them so much, but I'm so glad that we are close because we basically talk everyday and when we see each other we always have the best time, until someone starts to get on the other's nerves. The same appreciation goes for my mom. I love her so much, and I realized my first year in college, just how much she did for my sisters and I while we were growing up, and I realized that there is nothing I can do to repay her because she sacrificed so much for us. Thanks mama, I love you more than you know.

I love college because I have met so many outstanding people. I've made so many good relationships that I know will last a lifetime and the friends I still have from high school, still mean a lot to me too.

Overall, I am so thankful for this beautiful campus and for my experience too. Thank you to everyone who continues to support me through everyone.
