I grew up in San Jose, CA and when I was a kid and didn’t know what I wanted to do for a career.  I started going to community college in Modesto when I graduated high school and thought I wanted to be a nurse.  My counselor sat down with me to do an educational plan and I realized I was going to have to take a lot of math and science classes which were not my favorite.  At that time, my counselor’s mother passed away and the hospital staff didn’t speak English and had trouble communicating it to the family.  After I heard about that, I decided to study Spanish and be an interpreter.  Some people ask me why I want to study Spanish when I already know it but just because I can speak and write it doesn’t mean that I know all the grammar.  I am learning a lot every day in my classes and my experience in community college has been very rewarding.
