About
One assignment my class did was the Virtual Trip project in Spanish class. For this project, we had to pick a place where Spanish was the main language and plan a trip there. For example, the place I choose was Colombia. We had to find a flight to take as well as pick a hotel, and transfer the money we took to the country into the currency used there. Once done, we then had to pick three historical sites to travel to, find local foods, music as well as slang we would commonly hear in the country. While planning all of this out, we had a budget of 10,000 dollars that we could spend on everything, including plane flights and transportation.
Why I Choose This and 21st Century Skill
I choose to share this work sample because of the place I choose. Colombia has many beautiful places, and certain spots are fascinating. For example, Caño Cristales, AKA The Rainbow River. This river in Colombia is known for its colors from July to November. Caño Cristales changes colors because of plants that stick to the rocks in the river.
The 21st Century Skill this project used was the Global Awareness skill, by learning about another country's history, language, and culture.

Current Growth
This project made me realize how difficult it is to plan a trip. I never realized how much planning goes into trips, and I feel I learned more and got better at planning participating in this project. Though this project, I also learned more about the culture and history of Colombia. This project showcases my ability to research and plan for things.
New Ways To Grow
If I could ever redo this project, I would add what the price of transportation in the country and hotels in between flights would be. I would also pick a specific date for the trip, which I didn't realize at the time we could do.
