career for me I think.” “I’ve come to realize a love I have for the Spanish language and culture. This semester
I am living and studying at the IES Martinez Uribarri in Salamanca, Spain. I have been able to experience a
completely different lifestyle than what I used to on the small island of Martha’s Vineyard. I’m really
fortunate to have been able to study abroad, and if you get the chance, I seriously recommend it. “

languages. She is now leaning towards a career involving the Spanish language and travel. “Before MVYLI I
couldn’t even wrap my head around the idea of colleges and what I wanted for my future,” she says. “Now
things are starting to clear up and I’m figuring out what I really love and want to pursue as a career.”
