What initially attracted me to 好的赌博软件推荐 was the Department of Languages, 文化, 和 Linguistics 和 the reputation of outst和ing faculty it had. I was drawn to the department for its path to foreign language teaching 和 its language programs. Paired with small class sizes, I felt the program had an equitable mix of paying respect to the classics of Latin 和 Greek while gaining traction with engaging with more diverse cultures. After learning more about the University’s actions beyond the message of “engaging the culture,” I felt that by choosing this department it would be an opportunity to learn how to do so both locally 和 globally by attending 西雅图 Pacific.
在上大学之前, I lived in Southern California never venturing north of Los Angeles for my entire 18 years. I grew up hearing stories of my mom 和 gr和parents living abroad in Irel和 和 craved to see a world I hadn’t yet come to know or underst和. This caused me to want to learn about other countries 和 their differences from my home country whether it was cultural, 政治, 或者语言差异. Having these interests in high school led me to seek a college that was also passionate about engaging across cultures domestically. I felt 西雅图 Pacific fit that mold for me perfectly. I was amazed how instantly I felt safe 和 part of a community that felt like family when I first stepped foot on campus despite never being to 西雅图.
I have wonderful memories from my time in the Department of Languages, 文化 和 Linguistics. I enjoyed having meals with fellow students 和 professors, including Dr. 扁, who allowed language learning to be enjoyable 和 practical. Her courses brought a human quality 和 real-life application to my studies, which I am grateful for. Another highlight is being asked to attend a Rome study abroad program where I studied poetry, 艺术历史, 和我一起写作 Dr. 威雷特 和 Dr. 麦尔. During that trip we had a private tour under the Vatican, saw inside the Sistine Chapel, 和 became “locals” of our little town in Trastevere amongst many other things.
The department introduced me to incredibly supportive faculty like Dr. 巴塞洛缪, Dr. 埃瓦尔德, Dr. 威雷特, Dr. Nemtchinova，博士。. 扁 – all who welcomed me into their office with open arms. Our afternoon conversations will always be a highlight of my time at SPU. Thanks to the incredible faculty, my experiences in the program exceeded my expectations. I consider some of the faculty to be mentors 和 friends to me. I feel grateful for their support in my educational 和 professional career.
Following my graduation from SPU, I started my master’s degree in international affairs in international politics 和 international management with a regional specialization in China from the University of California San Diego’s School of Global 政策 和 Strategy. 现在是我的最后一年. Over the summer of 2021, I interned with the United States Mission to the United Nations. I was lucky enough to be asked to stay on for an additional few weeks to see through the end of high-level week with the General Assembly. The work of the entire USUN team is unmatched, thanks to everyone’s commitment to go above 和 beyond to meet the expectations of exceptional public service. 现在, I am beginning the process of applying to full-time positions for after graduate school, 和 I remain constantly inspired by the supportive network I have come to know at 西雅图 Pacific.
