Many people have stereotypes about countries before they visit them. I think that the Mexican people drink a lot. I also think that they talk way too fast & loud to understand. I think people in the US have stereotypes about the Mexican people because many of them are illegal immigrants. I look forward to seeing the “real” people of Mexico and prove these stereotypes wrong.

I hope to learn more about the culture of the Spanish people through my everyday interaction and excursions. As I aspire to become a foreign correspondent in a Spanish speaking country, I hope to perfect my Spanish speaking skills and be able to speak with a native speaker without much hesitation. I also hope to learn more colloquial terms.
