I'm very confused about where this event takes place. Is this when you were studying in Spain? Sometime after you were studying in Spain?
I also don't understand what darts are being thrown. It sounded like you were setting it up to be asked some hard-ball questions on American politics or something, but then it seems like just a friendly "what do you want to learn in Spain?" question.

Ah, this actually took place after I studied in Spain. I returned to the US, graduated and came back for a job. It was when i just arrived that this convo took place.

Edit: prior reading comp fail

I think it would benefit from some clarification of that. Something like, "A few weeks into my first job, I found myself in a group of 5 people representing 5 nationalities. We were discussing our time studying abroad." Obv, that's just a guess about the actual situation, but does that make sense? I think it would help it flow better. You're talking about x, they assume that y influenced x, but really x influenced y...

fjsms:

Thanks for your excellent comments. One thing (and most importantly): how is the content? good? do I re-write?

I like the setting and the idea, but I think it needs more substance around "involvement in Latino community." Not saying a restatement of your resume, but more examples of how when you came back from Spain you became more involved in the community. If the U-Haul example is the best or only one, then I think another topic might be better. But assuming it's not, I think that by adding more detail and toning down some of the American vs. European rhetoric, you're on your way.
Hope that helps.
