Spanish Class Sparked Something In Me by Jasmin - February 2025 Scholarship Essay

Ever since I started taking my advanced Spanish it has taught me multiple things about the Mexican culture and the language itself. This has taught me many things about about my own culture persuading me to help my people of my culture with what Iv'e been getting educated with. In my future career with trying to be an ultrasound tech, I'd want to help those who come into my room and arn't able to speak English. Iv'e seen this happen many times since I'm the oldest in my family with three younger sister leading me to translate for mom at the start of really early ages. I remember till now that Im 17 years old going to the ultrasound appointments for my mom because she wasn't able to know about her babies well enough if I wasn't there. It wasn't always like this just because there very small times where there was a translator or someone who was able to speak Spanish to my mom, but if there were none even if I was in school I would get taken out to help my mom out. I don't complain though because I loved to help both the tech out and my mom at the same time. It always felt so nice and felt appreciated to help who ever needs. I've slowly seen people my age forget their language witch is crazy to me because to me it's one of my most valuable things and I love putting them to use with those who need it.Through me they know both English and Spanish.
