Personal Statement
I love teaching language because culture is an integral part of it. Our future leaders here at Shrine must be able to communicate on many levels, and one way they can show they understand the people of the world is by walking in their cultural and linguistic shoes. This validates other cultures and opens hearts to evangelization.
