In the summer of 2013 I traveled abroad in the UCLA Spanish Granada Program. I was always interested in studying abroad as an undergraduate, it wasn't until I talked to my undergraduate adviser for Chicana/o Studies that I was encouraged to finish my Spanish language requirements abroad. It has been a trans-formative life changing experience in the fact that I have learned the value of traveling with an open mind and have gained confidence in myself to accomplish my life goals of becoming and educator. In this picture I am in my last week in the granda program exploring the historic landmark the Alhambra. The Alhambra was the last strong hold of the Moors in southern Spain before the Christian kings Isabella and Ferdinand conquered the lands of the native Moors. Walking through the beautiful gardens and halls of the Alhambra was an amazing site to visit before leaving the Andalusian city of Granada Spain.
