Statement of PurposeHello! My name is Julissa García, I am a student at California State University of Monterey Bay and I am working on my B.A. in Spanish with an emphasis in linguistics. I am currently a Senior and I plan to graduate in the Fall of 2016.
Ever since I was a little girl I have always wanted to become a teacher, but I had never give it much though as to what I wanted to teach. It wasn't until I began taking Spanish in high school that I realized I really enjoyed learning about the history of the language and how complex it is, then I knew that I wanted to learn even more. Since Spanish is my first language and it is very important to me I want to pursue a career in teaching it and help in keeping it alive. To me bilingualism is important because it is a huge part of who I am and I know that it is essential in the real world. My journey at CSUMB has helped me grow so much, I now know what kind of person I want to become, I know my career goals, and I have learned a lot about myself. |
