Hi! My name is Kate Atwell. I am Sophomore from Seattle Washington. I plan on majoring in either Anthropology or Sociology, with a minor in Spanish. At the college, I am a tour guide, part of the Woo Sang a cappella group, a member of Delta Theta Psi, and I recently joined the blue grass group on campus. Fun fact, I also made my own album of original songs this summer, and am hoping to perform my music around the Wooster community this year.

I enrolled in this class partially because it was recommended to me by a history major, but also based off my own personal desire to understand more about the roots of the America’s as whole. In my high school Spanish class, we learned a lot of 20th century Latin American history. I was honestly a little overwhelmed about all the information, and feel that it might make more sense if I could start from the roots of the history and culture. Additionally, I am considering studying abroad preferably in Argentina next year, and feel that having a little historical background would not be a bad thing.
