Watson studied abroad in M\u00e1laga during her junior year and is excited to return to a new city in Spain, this time off the mainland.\u00a0&#8220;I\u2019m so excited to teach English in the Canary Islands,&#8221; says Watson, &#8220;and immensely grateful to Dickinson and the Fulbright program for this opportunity! I was inspired to apply after studying abroad in M\u00e1laga, Spain in the spring of my junior year, when I lived under the hospitable roof of the Almoguera family. Their kindness and patience helped me develop my confidence as a speaker and enabled me to form meaningful connections in my non-native language. I feel indebted to their family and hope to replicate their kindness in my role as an English teaching assistant. I\u2019ve been doing a lot of research about the Canary Islands, though I still don\u2019t know which island I\u2019ll be working on, and am enthusiastic to immerse myself in a new part of Spain, with its own vibrant history and tradition.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/spanishandportuguese\/files\/2019\/04\/IMG_2936.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/spanishandportuguese\/files\/2019\/04\/IMG_2936-250x300.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the middle of March, English major and Spanish minor Olivia Watson was awarded a Fulbright scholarship to Spain.
