Statement: “I have been studying French for the past eleven years and I have become absolutely passionate about the language. I plan to keep up with it in the future, as I will be studying Comparative Literature at the University of Connecticut starting in the fall and the French language will be one of my main focuses. I will not only be taking classes but I will be working as a graduate assistant, helping to teach French to undergraduate students!”
