In elementary school, I lived in Spain for two years. My parents think I should write my essay about that experience but I feel like the immigration essay is one of the most common ones. There are definitely a few funny experiences that I could flush out but do y’all think this is too overplayed? Especially since other than the obvious language and cultural barrier, my life there was pretty cushy: everyone was super nice to me, I was often complimented for being “rubia”, my parents were there, etc.
