296 Words2 Pages

Everyone is afraid of scrutiny, it’s all a part of being human. But you can’t let it control how you behave, think or communicate.

    327 Words  | 2 Pages

    During my freshman and sophomore years of high school I took Spanish. It was a great experience to immerse myself in a different language and culture. I think every student in high school should take a language course because it makes for a better well rounded education. People who speak spanish as a main language are becoming more prominent in the United States, so it would be good to know at least the basics in case of an emergency. For example, I work at a Dunkin Donuts and sometimes someone who does not speak english with come in.
