Several years ago I climbed a mountain peak along the Kepler track in Fiordland, New Zealand. As an avid outdoorsman, I did what any good mountaineer does when they find this rare type of breathtaking solitude- I sat down to reflect.

Double Major: Spanish and Biology
Why Spanish? I chose to study Spanish in order to be able to travel and communicate with others first hand. I was also always interested in Latin American history, and this major allowed me to read documents in the language in which they were written, further enhancing the experience.
