I finished my Spanish 101 and 102 quest with a B- in both. It was scary terrifying and I learned some things about myself.
One, I have a hard time learning something that new when it’s for a grade. I plan to continue learning Spanish, but not in a classroom.
Along with that, I have a deeper and more profound sense of the harm we are doing to any child with a 1st language that is not English, be it , Spanish, Chinese, French, Russian, etc, by making them sit in classrooms and try to learn science when they don’t understand the language they are hearing it in. By experience, I can tell you that as soon as you lose the understanding of one word, you can’t keep up with the rest. We need to fix this broken ideology.
I will continue my quest and I will add another dimension.

Day 1: I walked 2 miles today in 45 minutes. A great start I think 
I have to take this slower what with the neck, shoulder, and hip injuries from 2 years ago that are still only about 2/3 healed. But a great slow start for sure
