This semester, this photo was chosen as one of the winners of a photo contest in my Spanish course. The winners’ photos are featured on the covers of the textbooks for the course next semester. I took this photo while I was visiting Tulum, Mexico a couple summers ago. This beach is right next to the Mayan ruins. This trip was a great opportunity for me to learn about the history of a Spanish speaking country, and experience the culture first-hand. This photo reminded me of my goal to travel abroad once again. I hope to study abroad soon to become a global citizen and experience other cultures, specifically in Spanish speaking countries to further pursue my study of Spanish.
