My first language was therefore Spanish, and my second was Korean. I distinctly remember my first day of class in the United States. I remember my mom closing the door to my first grade class and recall crying and feeling afraid because everything was foreign to me.

I wish to possess a frenzied life devoted to rescuing those who are too ill to care for themselves. It is through my profession as a surgeon that I will impact future generations.

		<description><![CDATA[I am currently majoring in Computer Science. One of my biggest priorities in life has always been education. Since I was a child, I have had a particular interest in computers and technology. Since then, nothing has changed. I remember that whenever my familys computer broke, I would eagerly repair and reinstall all the software again. In fact, when I installed the CD burner in the PC for the first time by myself, I realized that dealing with computers was all I&#8230;<span class="readme"> <a href="http://learn.latpro.com/javier-valerio/" class="readmore">read more ></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Deciding to become a Political Science major came naturally to me. Since I was a young girl, I would sit and watch the news, fascinated with the way the United States government functioned as well as with the media that would broadcast its trials and tribulations. In middle school, my appreciation for politics grew with an inspiring civics teacher that taught me the ins and outs of government. From this teacher, I learned to speak in front of an audience, as well as&#8230;<span class="readme"> <a href="http://learn.latpro.com/jordanna-fonseca/" class="readmore">read more ></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Growing up illiterate was one of the biggest challenges I had to overcome. In elementary school, dyslexia had crippled my reading skills and made simple math problems impossible to solve. Sounding out words was unhelpful and having teachers read to me was pointless. I was held back a year and placed in special education to get the extra help I needed to improve my reading skills. But I learned quickly that the system was flawed and the extra help entailed&#8230;<span class="readme"> <a href="http://learn.latpro.com/eliza-escobedo/" class="readmore">read more ></a>]]></description>

Maybe I was taking lifes course up until then for granted. In the fall of 2011, I studied in Guatemala with the University of Arizona. I enjoyed learning about the culture and Latin American philosophy  embracing and appreciating the world around me.
