Hello! My name is Kenneth Jimenez
and I am from Houston, Texas. I have Salvadorian and Costa Rican roots, which
I am very proud to say and embrace it. I am currently attending Washington
& Jefferson College and I plan to graduate with the class if 2021. I am
pursuing a History major with a minor in Latin American studies and Special
Education.
In order to make the most of your
college career, I firmly believe being involve in campus will give you great
experience. I am a brother of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, part of W&J
Men's Varsity soccer team, a member of Latino Culture and Student Christian
Association, I am a current SWAG mentor for a fellow Houstonian, and I am going
to be a Resident Assistant for the 2018-2019 school year.
Before attending Washington &
Jefferson College, I never thought or seen myself studying abroad. I only been
to El Salvador a few times to visit family, and I thought I would not visit
other countries unless I had the money. That all change when I first came to
W&J. The idea and opportunity to study abroad is heavily emphasized on
campus, so I decided to take the opportunity and to take part of the Magellan
project. I was also given the opportunity to travel to Germany and Poland
during spring break as part of a German film class, and the travel was beyond
amazing. Not only I was able to travel to a continent I never set foot in, but
I was also doing research and field study while abroad. This not only help me
learn more of foreign culture, but it has helped me learn how to navigate on a
foreign setting and sharpen my research skills that will be necessary for my
upcoming Magellan project.
