Statement of Purpose
Hello and welcome to my major portfolio, my name is Marco Rangel. I am a student at California State Monterey Bay and I am working on my B.A in Spanish with an emphasis in literature.
Growing up I never really knew what to study. Many things caught my attention, but I never truly saw myself working within a specific subject. However, one of the turning points in my life was when someone told me “do not speak Mexican.” That moment changed my life and sparked a feeling to take an action. Why would I not speak my native tongue? Was I doing anything wrong? Was I harming anyone? These and many other questions became a base to research and try to have a better understanding of my native tongue. Through some of the course I have learned how to practice and develop my Spanish and communication skills. CSU Monterey Bay has taught many things. I have been exposed to many cultures and practices. I have learned a vast amount of information; most importantly I have learned that much of it can be applied in our life. My goal is keep learning and through my job help those who have been oppressed or have not been able to express their concerns. You will be able to find my resume, my statement of purpose and a list of my courses describing what I have learned at CSU Monterey Bay. I will also present the major learning outcomes; what I have gained from them and how I plan to apply them. I have also included my personal experiences at CSU Monterey Bay. Furthermore, I will share my reason of choice for studying Spanish and my plans for the future. Hope you enjoy.
