Artículo Científico
This paper was my first in-depth paper I wrote in Spanish. It was a literature review of the factors that influence childhood obesity in latino children in the United States. Although it was rather difficult to write in Spanish, I furthered my reading, writing, and vocabulary while researching and articulating my thoughts into this paper. Much of the information I learned throughout this paper has provided the groundwork for me to understand how social factors influence human development.

El Plan Sistemático de Cuatro Pasos
This paper was my final paper for my history class while I studied abroad in Córdoba, Argentina. We picked a historical topic from any time period in the country and wrote a summary of the event. When we briefly covered this topic in class, I knew that I wanted to learn more and write about the period of time where many Argentinians were kidnapped, tortured, and killed. It was difficult to find thorough information on the topic because it is not a topic discussed by many Argentinians. The event was about fifty years ago, so many people had personal experience from this time through relatives or loved ones.
