I decided what I wanted to do with my life ten months ago, when I first heard the Russian language spoken. Since then, I discovered a hidden talent for studying and learning foreign languages. I have taken three years of Spanish in high school, nine months of Russian through self-learning methods, and in the future, I plan to begin studying Italian also. With a college degree, I hope that it will be possible to become a teacher of a foreign language. I am aiming for a degree in secondary teaching. Accompanied by my knowledge of these languages and cultures, I believe that it will be possible for me to accomplish my goal of teaching a foreign language to students. Through research, it seems that foreign language teachers are needed around the country and a person who can speak and understand these languages would be very useful. I am a very determined and passionate individual. With a degree from Oakland University in secondary teaching, I believe that I could make a difference in the lives of students who want to broaden their horizons and learn a different language. I love to teach people and help them learn because I believe that knowledge is success. I feel as though I have finally found a talent that I could picture myself happily doing for a living. With a college degree my goal of teaching a foreign language will be within my grasp. Not only will I be doing what I love, but I would be helping others and maybe even inspiring them. I believe that I will achieve my goals with a college degree from Oakland University.
