About Me
I want to major in journalism so I'm trying to expand my English vocabulary. I really love languages so I also would like to learn other idioms such as French, Japanese, and Chinese. I just finished my first year in college so I'm trying to complete this year so I can get my Associate's Degree. I am Cuban so I also speak Spanish and I'm fluent at it. There's nothing more comforting that being able to speak flawlessly and easily when one has a vast knowledge of words. This is why I really wish to expand my English vocabulary, and since I am also planning on becoming a writer someday.
