How Has Spanish Played a Role in Your Personal and Professional Life?

I am a heritage speaker who learned how to write when I took the Spanish 1 L2 class in the 9th grade. My parents are Peruvian and we have done extensive travel to Peru and other Spanish-speaking countries. Spanish is very important to me both personally and professionally. I have a Ph.D. from the University of Virginia and an MA from Middlebury College (summer and Spain). I got certified to teach high school at the undergraduate level.
