Two weeks ago I was offered the Living Arts position at the Boston Globe and of course, I accepted! I was not counting on that job, so I had to cancel about seven interviews when I heard the good news. I screamed in Spanish, in English, in Spanish and then in Spanglish! I called everyone and made sure my new boss knew how glad I was for being chosen. When I got to my job training, the girl training told me how important it was that I spoke both languages and that she thought I had been chosen, not only for my good resume, but for my ability to speak two languages. Here it is again! Being bilingual once again opened a new, wonderful door for me. I honestly encourage every student out there to take advantage of language classes in college. It is probably going to be the only time when you will be able to take classes of a certain language and then keep learning it in the future, if needed. I am proud of being able to speak two languages fluently and hope that people get to experience this. Trust me, it opens doors and makes you look professional in this competitive world we are now encountering.
