Marbella, Spain, October 1999: An 8 year old American kid wanders around the town with his new Spanish friend Natalie. He had never been to another country, and didn’t know a single word of Spanish. A look of awe spread across his face as he walked through streets that resembled nothing of his suburban neighborhood in South Florida. The images of the beautiful town are still imprinted in his memory a decade later. That trip had a profound effect on me. From that day forward, I yearned to travel, to learn Spanish, and to return to the place that captivated me. Since then, those goals have been realized. After eight years of Spanish classes, I have become near fluent, and three years ago I returned to Spain, where I immediately felt at home. I fell in love with the culture, the language, the architecture, the atmosphere, and the food. When I discovered the opportunity to be a SiS ambassador, I knew it would be a perfect chance to show my peers what Spain means to me, and to help pass on my experiences and knowledge of the country to those who wish to study there.
