My name is Charnise Baldwin and I am a junior at MetEast High School. Five days a week I juggle demanding school work and an important job at Shop Rite. My hobbies are reading, writing, and learning foreign languages and cultures. In about two weeks I will travel to Antigua, Guatemala. My school has received a grant for 15 of our students to study not only Spanish but also the culture of Guatemalans. This a once in a lifetime opportunity and I am ecstatic that I was able to take advantage of this opportunity.
I am anticipating this entire trip! I have never traveled to another country so from the moment I step on cobblestone of Antigua to the second I step on the staircase of our home bound plane, will be an unforgettable experience. I am looking forward to our trip to Ticaul and meeting the people at our home stay. Although we will have class, this what I am anticipating the most. Spanish seems like such a complex language, which makes my desire to learn intensify. My only concern about this trip is that we will not have the time to see everything Antigua has to offer.
