When I was six years old my family and I emigrated from Ecuador to Minnesota making it our home ever since. As a Spanish major I was encouraged to study abroad. I took this opportunity to travel back to Ecuador and learn more about my roots and expand my academic horizon. Due to this experience, among others, I believe that being a Spanish major has allowed me to have a fulfilling undergraduate experience.<\/p>\n<p>In Ecuador I discovered my passion for writing poetry. Since graduation I have had my poetry accepted for publication. While continuing to write, I am currently working as an interpreter and applying for graduate school where I would like to pursue\u00a0a Ph.D in Spanish and Latin American Literatures and Cultures.<\/p>\n<p>The literature courses I took at Augsburg, such Survey of Spanish Literature and Latin American Detective Fiction, have inspired me to continue in academia. It was while taking these courses that I learned about the interconnectedness of culture and literature and about literary figures, such as the seventeenth-century erudite Sor Juana In\u00e9s de la Cruz, which\u00a0served as topics for previous and potentially future research projects.<\/p>\n<p>As a Spanish major I was\u00a0able to conduct research and sharpen my speaking and writing skills, while studying the many cultures that share the Spanish language.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout my experience I received great support from the Spanish department professors, who are dedicated academics, mentors, and community members.\u00a0 As I continue my way through academia, and outside of it, I feel equipped with the necessary tools to continue my journey.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Last update: September 2014)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2026siempre me causa m\u00e1s contento poner riquezas en mi pensamiento que no mi pensamiento en las riquezas. \u2013Sor Juana In\u00e9s de la Cruz My name is Magaly\u00a0Ortiz, and I graduated from Augsburg in 2014 with a double major in Spanish and Philosophy.
