Hello everyone!

My name is Sally, and I am so excited to be able to share my journey with you. I am looking forward to all the things we will learn about along the way.

First, I want to tell you a little about myself. I am 20 years old and have lived in the same city for almost my whole life. Carmel, Indiana is a very pretty Midwestern town, but there isn't very much to do there. The nearest big city is Indianapolis, which is a 30 minute drive away. I live in Carmel with my mom, my stepdad, my younger sister, three younger brothers, my dog Dakota and my cats, Loki and Juno. As much as I love being with my family, I also love getting out, exploring and seeing new places. I have loved traveling ever since I was little, and the Midwest sometimes feels very isolated, so studying abroad was a great opportunity for me.

I started learning German in the sixth grade. The only other two options at my middle school were Spanish and French, but I wasn't interested in either of those. I soon discovered that I was able to pick up the language very quickly, and it became my favorite class just as fast. I continued learning German all through high school, where I had the opportunity to visit Germany twice. Being immersed in German culture made me love the language even more. It was then that I decided that I wanted to become a teacher, and inspire a love of language in other students as well!
