¡Hola! My name is Katie Martorano and I’m from northern New Jersey in a small town called Ringwood. In the United States, I attend Rowan University for Spanish and Elementary Education. Spain, (specifically Granada) is the perfect location for my adventure abroad. Aside from being incredibly beautiful, it is a great place to learn Spanish. It was during my senior year of high school that I realized my love of languages. I was tutoring a boy who had just moved to America and was battling with the SAT. His dedication and overall bravery was unfaltering. One day I asked him, “But how do you do it all? Leave everyone you know to learn a language in a different country?” And he said simply, “Because it is important to me.” Of course, living in a different country will be completely nerve-wracking, but I’m ready. I’m willing to take on my fears, download skype, and pack my favorite pillow because recently a friend said to me, “Good, be nervous. That way you can prove yourself wrong when you enjoy yourself.” So here I am, ready to get out of my comfort zone and do something I never in a million years thought I would do…and add to my bucket list while I’m at it!

Even though I was profoundly embarrassed, I was welcomed with a round smiling face and a laugh that you can hear in China.
