Studying Spanish


When I was five I started playing soccer and the piano which I continued into high school. While I played for the high school team and played off and on in various leagues in university I gave up playing the piano half way through high school. Volleyball I played in elementary school and again in university, but now prefer to play beach volleyball whenever possible. Since graduating I have returned to practicing the piano and would like to join a soccer league once I put down roots. When I was younger I had the opportunity to visit the Dominican Republic and Mexico several times and when I reached high school I decided to teach myself enough Spanish to be able to take the second year Spanish course without the first year prerequisite and have been improving my Spanish since. A recent two and a half month stay in Puerto Vallarta Mexico (Jan 15 – Mar 26) gave me the opportunity to study Spanish intensively as well as become an amateur surfer and play some beach volleyball. Golf I played briefly when I was younger but have started playing more frequently over the past three years.
