Course Reflection:
This course gave the opportunity to engage with the Latino community and see first-hand, the various struggles that this community faces. Also, within the structure of the course, I was able to hold class discussions with my fellow classmates. These discussions were really beneficial because not only did it give me the opportunity to continue practicing my Spanish abilities, but it also allowed me to build great interpersonal relationships with my classmates.
