In life, at least for me, there is no greater feeling than going to a good concert. Introduced to a wide array of genres at a very young age -ranging from classic rock, blues, dance, country, jazz and so on- music has always been what I like to call my release not only from the everyday stresses life likes to produce, but an escape to a state of true bliss.

Monolingualism
There are more Spanish native speakers in the U.S. than there are in Spain, and yet less than one percent of American adults feel they’re proficient at a foreign language they learned in the classroom. According to The Atlantic, monolinguals are the minority in Europe, with 19 percent bilinguals, 25 percent trilingual, and 10 percent speak four or more languages. In America, only 15-20 percent consider themselves bilinguals.
American Sign Language
Language is an interesting concept if you really think about it. Groups of people came together and strung together different sounds and assigned meaning to each of them in order to communicate with one another. I only speak English, but I’d love to be able to speak another language. Nothing common for American students like Spanish or French, though those would also be really nice to know. For me, it’s always been sign language.
