Portrait of myself by my talented friend, Ece Saydam
|
I am Isabelle Elgart, a student at Newton North High School researching secondary language acquisition in American Public Schools. My interest in language derives from many things. I am very interested in world history (especially European and Middle Eastern history!) . I am of mixed heritage/background, meaning I have been exposed to multiple cultures and languages my whole life. I believe that the root of our world's many problems comes from ignorance. I believe that if we learned about and empathize with other countries' histories and cultures, then many conflicts would diminish. Learning multiple languages puts you in contact with more people across the globe, which is something all different types of people can benefit from.
