I applied for this award because I want to be a French teacher. I think the only way to hone my French skills is to immerse myself in a country that speaks it.
What are you most looking forward to with this opportunity?
After this experience, I can share my first-hand knowledge of the language and culture of France with my future students. I'm also excited to share American culture from a first-hand perspective with French students.
Have you ever been to France? What was your favorite experience?
I studied abroad in Paris in the fall of 2021. It was the best experience of my life! I think my favorite part was traveling and learning things about the French language and culture that I had never learned before.
