As I have grown up, the Spanish language has become synonymous with my notion of home. Reminiscent of the warmth and kindness that surrounds me in both my homes in Oregon and Mexico, just listening to Spanish is an added comfort to my daily life. Whether it is being miles away from my family in Oregon or relatives in Mexico, Spanish is the one medium we have to connect with one another to communicate our love and affection; perfectly enveloping with this language is home to me.
