Spanish NHS- Guest Speaker April: Colleen Walsh

By: Sr. Vázquez
Colleen Walsh (Kelly’s older sister), a former LOLHS student, shared her experience with studying  Spanish in college.
Colleen is studying at the University of Alabama. She is currently minoring in Spanish and majoring in Public Health.  She said that she was going to change to a major in Spanish.
She emphasized the importance of studying Spanish in order to be connected with friends and family, but most importantly, for having more professional opportunities. She said that she left LOLHS well prepared for the challenge of continuing to study Spanish in college.  She told us that one remarkable experience was to volunteer in a clinic and to use Spanish often with patients.  She did this as part of her course called Spanish Healthcare for Professionals.
After answering questions, she said goodbye and encouraged students to keep studying Spanish.
