My Return to Texas

As I return to the United States, I am both excited and sad. I am sad to end my great experience in Spain, from which I learned so much about the Spanish language and culture. However, I am excited to start a new school year with my students and be able to share the information that I learned in Spain. I believe that this information will help my students feel a stronger connection to what I'm teaching, and I will be able to emphasize the importance of learning Spanish in high school. I want to say a big thank you to the people at the National Spanish Exam and the AATSP for allowing me to have this amazing experience. I will remember this amazing experience for the rest of my life, and I believe that it has made me a better person and more accepting of other cultures and ways of life. I made many friends along the way and had many great experiences that continuously make me laugh and smile. I hope to return to Spain someday to visit my friends and see how much the country has changed. I will encourage all of my students to take a trip to Spain to enhance their knowledge and experience many new and exciting things.
