Hola! My name is Adam Pinkney and I am a broadcasting and electronic media graduate student at the University of Oklahoma. I have the opportunity to take two travel-writing classes through OU in Puerto Rico. I will document my experience in Puerto Rico in various ways. In addition to writing about my experiences, I will also illustrate them with pictures, video, and sound as I explore the island of enchantment. Below I have explained why I was interested in taking these courses.
I am very interested in the travel-writing course in Puerto Rico. I have always wanted to study abroad in some form or fashion. This is a perfect opportunity for me to travel abroad and experience a world outside of Oklahoma. I am willing to open up my eyes and mind to a new culture. These two classes would definitely help to fulfill graduate credit. However to me this opportunity is worth more than credit. It is worth an experience that I could not trade for anything else. It is a challenge for me to venture out and learn new things about other cultures. I am up for a good challenge and ready for the life of Puerto Rico.
I love learning new things and the Hispanic culture has always been of interest to me. I took Spanish as a foreign language in High school and College. So I know the basics of Spanish and structure, but definitely not fluent in the language. One funny memory that comes to mind is that many people believe that I am Hispanic because of my skin color. So now I will get to experience true Hispanic culture on the island of Puerto Rico.
