Jordan Mondshine – On How Spanish is Important

Jordan Mondshine is a student at George Washington University that is on his way to graduating in May of 2016.  He has fluency in speaking, writing and reading Spanish and feels these skills will serve him well in the future. There are over thirty five million Spanish speakers right here in the United States and there are over 400 million speakers of Spanish throughout the world.  It is the fourth most commonly spoken language on the planet, behind only Mandarin, English, and Hindi languages.  When you count only those that are native speakers, Spanish far outnumbers English.  It is the official language of countries on four continents and that number covers 21 countries.  Today over 40 percent of the population growth in the United States is tied to Hispanic peoples and the country is on its way to a massive rise in Spanish language usage.  The population of Hispanic people in the US will approach and eventually surpass fifty million people in the next couple of years, so the reasons to speak and comprehend Spanish are compelling.  

Jordan Mondshine – Big on Military History

Jordan Mondshine is an economics student at George Washington University (GWU).  He is passionate about his studies of military history.  This fascination started way back in his youth, when as a child he was drawn in by the impressive body of military history that was at his reach in books, on television and in the classroom.  In fact, he took a course at GWU about military history that focused on American wars from 1945 to the present. He has read many books on the topic outside of the classroom. Living in Washington, D.C., there is easy accessibility to a great amount of historical places, documents and resources. That is especially the case for the period in history that covers the United States Civil War of 1861 – 1865.  This war has more devotees than any similar period in American history. To the east of D.C. lie the sites of several famous battlefields of this conflict, such as Gettysburg and Vicksburg, and they draw thousands of visitors each year. Collectible items from this period are readily available as well.  They include old weapons, uniforms, Confederate stamps and coins, photographs, toy soldiers, and much more.  Mondshine is an avid enthusiast of military history and is focused on continuing to learn the many stories history has to offer.
