Hola!!!!

today marks one week I’ve been studying abroad in Spain and I must admitt that it’s been an incridible first week! So far the locals have been so nice and welcoming. Teaching me new words and being patient with me while I’m trying to order food. I Had the pleasure to visit the city of Segovia. So much history in this city. I also had the chance to visit the castle there which was home to many kings and queens! There is so much more to see. This is only the beginning! I’ll keep you updated on my adventure. 

Chao!

Kenyatta Irvin

Hola, My name is Kenyatta "Kenny" Irvin. I am a 25 year old outgoing person from Los Angeles. I am currently a student at Los Angeles City College. My Major is nursing. In my free time I like to watch movies, spend time with my family and work out! I'm actually training for a race now. I volunteer often and I currently work in a hospital as a Nurse. This is one of the reasons why I have elected to study abroad for 1 month in Madrid, Spain summer 2015. In Spain I will study Spanish, taking two courses at the university. Studying abroad is very beneficial for my career. Working in a hospital I come in contact with a lot of patients who only speak Spanish. Learning Spanish and experiencing their culture will help me connect with the patients. I also have future plans to do community nursing. Studying abroad will also help me to motivate young African Americans to experience other cultures and learn a different language. I am really excited and looking forward to immersing myself in the Spanish culture. July can't come soon enough!
