Hola. My name is Paige Rubakh, and I was fortunate enough to receive the DECTFL Teacher Candidate Scholarship. Learning a second language has taught me that language is beautiful and that words are powerful. It has taught me that languages can serve as a bridge between people and cultures, and learning them helps you to cross them. Most importantly, what I have gained more than anything from learning Spanish is my passion for teaching the language and culture to others. Because of my ardent passion for Spanish and Education, I am eager to continue learning and growing as a Spanish speaker and educator of the language. The DECTFL scholarship will directly help me to do this by providing me with the necessary resources to continue my educational studies and professional development in DECTFL and other worldwide professional organizations. I am so grateful and thrilled to begin this journey!

Hi! My name is Sophie Douglas and I am in ninth grade at Appoquinimink High School. I have been learning Spanish since I was five years old and I have taken the class in school for seven years. I truly love the language and the cultures associated with it. For this project, I wanted to combine two of my favorite things. I love making and trying new foods as well as going to museums. I plan on creating meals from different Spanish speaking countries and sharing the process. To further expand my knowledge, I am going to spend the extra funds attending different Hispanic Heritage Museums. I am very excited to start this journey and I hope you follow along with me!
