Hello everyone! October 14, 2018
My name is Neve
MacRae and I am an English language assistant working at IES Nuestra Señora de
la Estrella for this academic school year. I moved to Spain from Canada on
September 18, 2018. I have never moved to another country before, so this is
the first big adventure that I have undertaken. There is a strong sense of
community in Villa del Río and I hope to integrate well into the pueblo
lifestyle.
I
am Canadian and have studied languages my whole life. English is my first
language, but I started learning French in elementary school and started
learning Spanish in grade 10. This past summer, I graduated with a major in
Spanish and a minor in French from Dalhousie University.
At
an early age I was fascinated with language and its ability to connect people
from around the world. Not only did I learn this from school, but also from
volunteering. I volunteered as an English tutor in high school and in this
role, I was able to help students succeed. I felt fulfilled knowing that I was
able to help people based on first-hand experience with language.
Already I see
the students working hard in their classes. The perseverance shown by the
students is something that I apply in my daily life while speaking. It has only
been a month, but I know that this is going to be one of the most rewarding
experiences in my life. I am so excited to be at IES Nuestra Señora de la
Estrella. The students and faculty already have made me feel so welcome and I
am beyond grateful. Day by day I see faces that I recognize, and it makes me
feel at home.
Thank
you for welcoming me into your school and into your community. I know it will
be an exciting year full of rewarding experiences for all. Please if you have
any questions, do not hesitate to ask me.
Neve
