“Learning language while I was living in the culture has had a deep impact on my life. It has led me to the wonderful career of teaching and it has created so many opportunities for me during my lifetime. It has afforded me numerous travel opportunities; it has allowed me to create friendships around the world; it has opened my eyes to the global issues that plague our society; it has allowed me to teach numerous students in my French and Spanish classes in three different states; and it has afforded me the knowledge to be able to be successful in whatever culture in which I lived.”
