My Project

My plan for my project is to relearn Portuguese as a language. Within the month I will be using a variety of different medias to regain my Portuguese fluency. There are many ways in which my senior project meets the ideals of the philosophy statement. First, I have an intense love for languages. I have attended the Governor’s Honors Program for Spanish, taken AP and Post AP Spanish classes, and worked in Guatemala. So now, I would love to take my love for languages and pursue Portuguese for my senior project. I lived in Brazil for 5 years as a child and spoke Portuguese better than I spoke English. However, over the years I have lost much of my fluency. As Lovett does not offer Portuguese, the senior project would be the ideal time for me to regain some of my fluency. Through teachers like Señora Mitchell, I have learned how to approach learning not just how to speak a language but understanding the intricacies. Lovett’s senior project values are ones of intellectual curiosity and love of learning. I love learning new languages and strive to be completely tri-lingual, a skill that I would take with me throughout my life and career. This is a passion of mine, and something I have wanted to do for a long time – the senior project is the perfect opportunity.
