Hi! My name is Kelsey Strode, and I am a senior majoring in Spanish and International Studies. I am from a suburb just north of Milwaukee along Lake Michigan called Whitefish Bay.
Spanish language and Spanish culture really interest me, and I spent last semester living with a host family and studying in Sevilla, Spain, which is a city in the southern region of Spain called Andalucía. I love to travel, and throughout the semester I traveled to 13 different places. My favorite places that I traveled to were Paris, Ireland and Portugal. This picture to the right from Sevilla, and it is a street of buildings along el rio Guadalquivir, which runs through the city, and the picture below is me at the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland.Along with traveling, I love kids, and every year since I was nine years old I have spent part or all of my summer at Camp Minikani, which is a YMCA camp north of Milwaukee. I was a camper there from when I was nine until I was fourteen, then I was in a leadership training program for the next three years, and when I was eighteen I was hired to be a counselor. This summer I was the director of our Minicamp Program, which is a day camp for five and six year old kids.
I am looking forward to this class and I think it will be very interesting to discuss information and technology in our society today.
We NEED to talk about Spain! I'm sure you have some amazing places that you went, I'd love to hear about them.
ReplyDeleteI was also a camp counselor over the summer for the YMCA in my hometown but it was just a day camp! We did a training at Camp Minikani for a day!
ReplyDeleteI am interested in spanish and culture as well! Also, I am dying to study abroad in Spain. I have also been to Ireland, and one of my favorite places was the Cliffs of Moher!!! so beautiful, I definitely want to go there again and travel! I also have been a camp counselor before, but unfortunately not this past summer.
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you!
