Buenos Noches,

week two in Spain has come to an end. The days are going by so fast. I’ve had the pleasure of visiting a few cities Toledo, Salamanca, and my favorite barcelona or as the locals pronounce it “barthelona”. The Spanish culture is so interesting to me. The food has been great. Each city offers a special type of food. In Toledo I had the opportunity to see swords and jewelry being made. Toledo is known for the hand Made swords snd jewelry. I also looked in one of the oldest and biggest cathedrals in Europe. Toledo was a very interesting place for over three hundred years Muslims, Christians and Jewish people lived together in this town. Toledo used to be the capital of spain many years ago. A lot of the town has symbols from each religion. The locals were very welcoming and friends. Such a great opportunity. I still can’t belive I’m here. My Spanish is improving day by day. I can’t wait to learn and see more. Vale!

adios! 

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!
