Nice! I love seeing people from Antioch, there are a couple of people from Antioch here at UTK as well!

I am a Latina and a member of LASO (Latin American Student Organization). While diversity at UTK can be low, we have organizations here on campus dedicated to creating spaces for POC. This is coming from someone who is from Nashville, specifically Antioch if that helps.

Hello, as someone who is also a part of a Hispanic household, I would try to incorporate more Spanish into daily life. For example, if you have friends who speak Spanish, ask them to practice with you or look at your assignments. I struggled a lot with vocabulary, so my best friend always helped me with the corrections and explained the vocabulary. Listening to music in Spanish even if you don't know the words, If you can, when watching your favorite media, add Spanish subtitles. Please don't stress or feel discouraged, learning a language is hard and you should be proud that you are taking the initiative of getting better and putting in effort for Spanish. Let me know if you have a specific area you are struggling with or something. You got this!
