Breanna Washington, a dual major in special education and childhood education with a concentration in the social sciences, will test her skills later this month when she begins a program in Thailand teaching English to school children. The recipient of the Diversity Abroad Honors Scholarship, Breanna’s application detailed the lessons she hopes to teach. “Breanna has goals that reflect her passion for being a teacher,” said Senior Study Abroad Advisor Hugh Anderson. Breanna will return in August for resident assistant (RA) training before beginning her third year as an RA in Dragon Hall. She credits this experience with building meaningful relationships and learning important life lessons.
