Hi everybody - hope you had a great weekend!
My name is Chelsea Roth and I am a junior majoring in English and minoring in Art History. I am from Miami, Florida (a place that clearly has a TON of latino/a culture). I did not grow up speaking Spanish but started taking classes in first grade at my public elementary school. It is part of the public school curriculum in Miami to take Spanish classes from the time you start elementary school until you finish high school. It's hard to get a job there without being proficient in both English and Spanish!
Although the majority of my family is from the United States, my uncle married a woman of Jewish-Cuban heritage (making her what we in Miami call a Jew-ban). Now I have an extended Spanish-speaking Latino family!
Looking forward to a great semester.
Chelsea
