Wright,+Lindsay,+Introduction

Hi, my name is Lindsay and I'm originally from a little town outside of Portland on the way to the coast, Clatskanie, OR. I'm a senior at SOU, majoring in Spanish with a minor in Elementary Education.

I received my Associate's degree in Early Childhood Education from Lower Columbia College in Longview, WA in 2006. After graduation I was hired by Gearhart Elementary School from 2006 to 2008, first as a 1/1 assistant for a child with Autism and then as an English Language Development assistant for ESOL kids. My passion for this job inspired me to return to college to finish my Bachelor's degree. I just returned from a study abroad experience this summer in Guanajuato, Mexico; I absolutely loved it! I'm looking forward to graduation in June 2011 after which I hope to get my license and work either as an ESOL or bilingual teacher or to use my interest in human rights and Spanish to work for an organization improving immigrant/migrant rights in the educational system in America.
