in a second paragraph, reflect on how knowing spanish will you in your life academically, personally, socially, and even professionally. give specific examples and details.

Here's a sample response (you might want to change it up a little):

I have developed habits that connect me to Spanish by using the following: movies, shows, media, traditional Spanish recipes, and the Duolingo app. I intend to connect more to the Spanish language and culture by adding more music and by taking more Spanish classes. Learning Spanish has helped me stay mentally healthy and strong as well as improving my productivity.

Learning a second language has many benefits on its own, but becoming a lifelong learner can provide many more benefits for a much longer time. Starting my journey to becoming a lifelong learner has positively affected my ability to be in a routine, my self expression, and my Spanish vocabulary; not to mention, my academic abilities as well. Learning a second language helps a person's memory, personal growth, communication skills, and provides health benefits such as, reducing the chance of getting Alzheimer's. Academically, my choices are very limited without learning a second language; most colleges and universities require students to have previous classes in a foreign language. Professionally, learning Spanish in particular can raise your chances in getting a job, more specifically one in customer service. Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world. If someone knows Spanish, one can communicate efficiently and effectively with another. This can benefit one's life academically, socially, personally, and professionally, because communication is key within each.
