Learning Spanish Essay

Improved Essays
The most enjoyable part of this academic year is that I got to learn Spanish for the first time in my life. It’s amazing of how I can understand most of the words in Spanish whenever I see it on the street or in the flea market. Moreover, I love being in Ms. Favela's class because I get to learn new things and at the same time, I'm also more creative, more sociable with others. Other than Spanish class, I'm surprisingly pretty good in chemistry, and the funny thing is I never thought that I could do well in chemistry. Still, I hate history and math.
We can't leave out the memorable part of the classes, which contains all of my embarrassed moments. Like I said, I hate when I have to stand up in front of the class and do the talkings. However, the restaurant skit in the Spanish class was pretty fun to me. For example, we have about 3 to 4 people in one group and each group is going to choose one waiter out of 3 so other remained can be the customers. Especially, we get to converse and order in Spanish with what we learned in the food vocabulary. Additionally, I enjoy learning new Spanish vocabulary, like simple nouns or verbs

Although sometimes, it could take a while for me to adjust and understand completely. My weakness is I'm too shy to speak up my mind or do the talkings in front of the class, and I'd like to improve this as soon as possible.
My goal for the next academic year is to master the S.A.T and become straight A's student. Consequently, I think I should try to do the practice S.A.T tests, thoroughly focus, and prepare ahead of the time for every subject next year. I should also stay positive, motivated, and healthy.
My dreams for life after high school are going to a 4-years-university, having a super stable job, buying whatever I want. My dream schools are Standford because I've always interested in the medical field and I do want to become an excellent

    Chicano/a/xs in the United States experienced racial discrimination through regional segregation, marginalization in suburbia, and construction of a selective fantasy past. This relationship between space, cultural citizenship, and race relations were apparent in the unequal opportunities and the marginalization Latinos faced in racialized suburbia. An imagined Spanish fantasy past was constructed through mission revival and Olvera Street in Los Angeles that placed the Mexican people and their culture in the past. It was implied that the only place for them in modern day Los Angeles was in the past, supporting the belief that the Mexican immigrants in the present were not a part of the Los Angeles community and were just a temporary workforce in America. This further emphasizes this racial segregation they faced from the Anglo community who constructed a physical…
