Cultural Development Objectives

1. I intend to learn more about the country of Ireland including its history, education system and culture. I believe that immersing oneself in a specific culture is the only way to truly grasp how the people function and live. This program is providing me with this wonderful opportunity.

2. Not only do I plan on learning more about the country of Ireland, I believe that this experience will help me learn more about myself. As much as I have grown in my years at college, I think that this opportunity to spend time in a complete other part of the world will help me grow even more as a person and as an educator. Everything that I learn will be more that I can share with my future students in a classroom as a more well rounded person.

3. I am of a great deal of Irish decent, so not only is this a learning experience in regard to another culture and way of life. This, for me, is learning more about my ancestry and where my family comes from and where we are going.

I cannot wait to begin this wonderful experience, as I know there is so much more to learn than I could ever anticipate.
