Hello, I'm Jose. I am a current senior at Western Washington University. I am a first-generation student who is trying to become a secondary education teacher.

I would love to teach Spanish and social studies. This study abroad course will introduce me into how the US supports students who are English Language Learners (ELL) and compare it to how Sweden supports these students.

I will also be learning about the Sami and other national minorities from Sweden. Finally, I will observe Swedish educators in a practicum and also learn about immigration politics of Sweden.

The money I am asking to be raised covers my tuition and my transportation to and from the country and within the country.

The goal is to reach the goal by February 28th.
I know that it is a lot to ask, but with this experience I know that I can become a great teacher for my community! I'm not doing this for myself. I am doing this for my community and my future students.
