All about me

My name is Sofia Solano and I am a Secondary Education teacher with a degree in Modern Languages. I am fluent in English and Spanish and I enjoy studying other languages as well. I am very interested in languages and cultures and believe that it is very important to teach the youth in America to speak different languages and to be aware of different cultures throughout the world. I strive to make learning Spanish fun and useful to my students and hope to spark interest in them to learn to speak another language fluently.

 Why I wanted to become a teacher

My second year at Metro I studied abroad in Mexico. This trip was a life changing experience. I took Spanish classes and became fluent in the language. During this trip, I realized how fortunate I was for the education I had received. I realized that so many people are deprived of what I took advantage of for so long.  I ended up staying in Mexico independently, and worked as an English teacher. It was during that time that I realized that teaching was my passion. I was pleased that my performance was reaching others and that they were learning. I was fascinated by the ability I had to explain things to my students. I loved coming up with new ideas and ways to help my students, and right then and there I became a teacher.
