Matthew

Matthew is an “achiever.” He loves the Spanish language and his interest in the language and culture makes it seem easy to him. As a GaVS student, he was the first to complete a new requirement in Spanish II AB, the Capstone Project. It was an outstanding work of art for a student at his level. I recommended his work to be showcased at our Cognia Accreditation Review. He finished the Spanish II AB course in the last week of October with the final exam yet to come in December. Meanwhile he asked for extra resources in order to maintain and keep abreast of the language and culture. He plans on taking Spanish III AB and from there to AP Spanish Language. I recommended he focuses on listening to the target language by associating himself with native speakers and putting the language to use. I also suggested that he was an ideal candidate to study abroad in Spain or any other Spanish-speaking country. Second language learning online is very difficult for many students, but Matthew found time to include his GaVS course to his daily routine which made it achievable. This young man truly deserves to be recognized for his efforts and accomplishments.
