Hello, my name is De\u2019Nazia Hebron<\/strong> (pronounced \u201cduh-neigh-ja\u201d \u201che-bron\u201d) and I am currently an English student at Old Dominion University. I am seeking an English degree with a concentration in creative writing. Or: Hola. Mi nombre es De\u2019Nazia Hebron, y soy una estudiante de ingles en Old Dominion University. Aprend\u00ed espa\u00f1ol para diez a\u00f1os. Ahora, necesito aprender espa\u00f1ol para graduarme.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I first started going to college in the summer of 2021. I initially went to Brightpoint Community College (formerly known as John Tyler Community College), where I graduated in the fall of 2022 with an associates in liberal arts and general studies. I then transferred to ODU in the spring of 2023, where I also stayed in the dormitory for the first time. Tengo veintitr\u00e9s a\u00f1os. Empec\u00e9 la universidad en 2021. Tengo un reconocimiento de la universidad: me gradu\u00e9 de un colegio comunitario magna cum laude. Empec\u00e9 a ir a ODU en 2023. Esta es la primera vez que vivo en los dormitorios de la universidad.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Empec\u00e9 a tomar clases de espa\u00f1ol en 2013, en 7th grado. En 7th grado, quer\u00eda aprender japon\u00e9s, pero mi escuela solo ense\u00f1\u00f3 espa\u00f1ol. Tom\u00e9 clases de espa\u00f1ol para diez a\u00f1os.<\/strong> My history with taking Spanish started in the seventh grade, which was around 2013. I initially signed up to take a world languages class, as I was interested in a variety of languages \u2014 such as Italian and Japanese. But the class was suddenly transformed mostly into a Spanish class, as the teacher could only really teach Spanish. And I\u2019ve been taking Spanish ever since then. I took the second half of Spanish I while in the eighth grade, and I then took Spanish II in the ninth grade, and Spanish III in the tenth grade. I will say that my favorite Spanish teacher was my Spanish III teacher. I felt as if I learned the most Spanish when it came to her. I remember a group project where we made horchata and another group project where we filmed a telenovela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just when I thought that my journey in taking Spanish was over, I found out that taking a language at an intermediate level was the only required class of my liberal arts degree. Because I had absolutely no background in French, it was a no-brainer to return to Spanish. Fearing that I was rusty, I took a Beginner II course to relearn my skills during the spring of 2022. It was one of the first college classes that I had taken in person, and it was a nice experience. My teacher was fun and I managed to make a couple of friends at the time. Admittedly, I didn\u2019t do as well as my classes continued on. Intermediate I and Intermediate II passed by, and I received a low grade in Intermediate II. It was enough to graduate, but not enough to transfer over to ODU. Hence why I had to take Intermediate II, or Spanish 202, again for the summer of 2023… Which I failed, and therefore I had to take Spanish 202 for the third time in the fall of 2023. Third time’s the charm!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
