"Promise." She said sternly as she put our lock on the gate. "I promise to learn English." She bit her lip. I knew her well enough that I could tell she was being serious. "You promise to learn Spanish." she requested. I looked at her determined and we closed the lock together. Alma gave a bright smile then tossed the key into the river below.

Unsure of when we will see each other again, Alma and I exchanged emails. We kept in touch, but it wasn't the same as being together. I decided to give my all to learn Spanish so I could visit her in Spain. I had just started college so my goal was to visit her when the semester is over. I'm grateful to my best friend and roommate Ron because whenever we talked, all I would do was gush about Alma. I looked up what events were popular in Spain so I could participate in them alongside her.
