Hello! こんにちは！ 안녕하세요! Bonjour!
On this page of my Language Portfolio, you will be able to explore various activities, events, and just experiences I have had outside of the classroom. Some planned, some were spontaneous, some were formal, and some were not. All of them, though, are a part of my story!
My college experience did not root me in one place long enough to be able to say I spent three years in a school club, sport, or sorority. It took me across multiple cities in multiple countries, into communities I had no roadmap for, where I’ve built connections through language, education, and shared cultural experiences.
The sections below each represent a different way I have reached beyond the classroom to connect, serve, or bridge. Some were formal, some were spontaneous, but all of them changed me for the better.
