十大赌博正规平台在线的西班牙语课
毕业生档案
奥布里·鲁伊斯，19岁
Aubrey Ruiz (2019) began her academic career at 十大赌博正规平台在线 in 2015. 虽然
Ms. Ruíz is from Salt Lake City, Utah; she chose to pursue her education in the Midwest.
One of the most weighing factors in her decision to attend Aquinas are the highly
sought-after 出国留学 Programs offered through the Advantage Center. 作为一个西班牙人
Major in the Department of 世界语言, this 程序 supports her desire to learn
and explore the 西班牙语 Speaking World. In the Fall of 2017, Aubrey embarked on her
journey to Salamanca, Spain where she studied for the semester.
Electing 十大赌博正规平台在线 has been a life changing decision for Aubrey. 的课程 she has taken at Aquinas have advanced her 西班牙语 speaking, writing, and reading 技能. A specific course that has successfully challenged her is Engaging Latinx 大急流城. Part of the requirements for this course include a Service Learning 组件. Aubrey has had the opportunity to volunteer on a weekly basis at César E. Chávez小学.
This school is part of the 大急流城 Public School system and is a transitional 双语小学. Aubrey aids a third-grade classroom with very energetic 学生. Several 学生 in that classroom have recently moved to the United States from 西班牙语 speaking countries such as Guatemala and Mexico. 这些学生依赖于 heavily on the communication between Aubrey and themselves to understand and complete 他们的任务. During her volunteer hours, Aubrey translates the English directions from the teacher into 西班牙语, and helps explain the task. 这对奥布里来说是值得的 because she witnesses the direct results of aiding children in their education.
Ms. Ruiz intends to graduate in May 2019. Eventually, Aubrey plans to return to postgraduate study in order to become an Elementary Teacher in a bilingual or 西班牙语 immersion 程序. It is her hope to implement her language degree in her daily life and the 他人的生活.

The 西班牙语 education that I received at 十大赌博正规平台在线 was absolutely wonderful!
What I enjoyed the most about it was how much learning took place outside of the classroom.
My warmest memories include road trips with friends and faculty to outside universities
such as Saginaw Valley 州立大学 and Wayne 州立大学 to attend professional
conferences, network with other passionate 西班牙语 scholars, and present research
在野外! Another highlight of my AQ 西班牙语 career was volunteering as a Kindergarten
teacher aide in a 西班牙语-speaking classroom at a nearby elementary school. 什么开始
out as only a semester-long volunteering endeavor for one of my 西班牙语 classes, ended
高达一年的承诺. I had so much fun engaging with the kids of the local
西班牙语-speaking community that I just could not pull myself away from them.
My overall experience at 十大赌博正规平台在线 was just as meaningful. 教职员工 of every single department knew me by my first and last name and always thought to include me in extra-curricular opportunities that they thought would interest me specifically 并与我未来的目标保持一致. Everyone was always flexible in scheduling one-on-one time for reviewing lecture material and answering questions. 不管是什么季节， the charming campus always felt very welcoming and cozy. 一个简单的步行穿过 tree-lined paths would clear my mind and relieve any study stress I was experiencing. AQ is the kind of learning atmosphere that you remember forever and truly reflect upon with nostalgia after you graduate.
Currently, I am an optometry student at the Michigan College of Optometry at Ferris 州立大学. I am wrapping up my third year and preparing for my clinical externship rotations which will take place in various cities across Michigan next year. 我可以 certainly say that AQ was one of the most influential reasons on why I was accepted into one of the top 10 optometry 程序s in the nation. 我接受的西班牙语教育 at AQ shaped me into a more well-rounded candidate who had more to offer than just standardized test scores and scientific knowledge. 招生委员会则更多 interested in my 西班牙语 language and research background than anything else in my 投资组合! We spent the majority of my admissions interview chatting about my experience interviewing native 西班牙语 speakers around West Michigan for linguistics research. I shared with them how complete strangers opened up to me and shared powerful life stories for hours on end as we shared warm cups of coffee. AQ西班牙语课程 allowed me to adopt a more global perspective, and taught me how to communicate at the highest level in 西班牙语 and inevitably, in English! 这些沟通技巧 are now with me for life-at job interviews, in the medical exam room with patients, or even with strangers in coffee shops right around the corner or across international 边界! I am immensely thankful for all of the intelligent, kind, and devoted AQ 西班牙语 faculty that helped me achieve all that I have so far, I miss you all!
