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

I was a Spanish teacher for 11 years before becoming the World Languages Curriculum Coordinator for Des Moines Public Schools.  I studied Spanish in high school and college, and am married to a Peruvian-American.  We use Spanish at home and hope to raise our son to be bilingual.
