Crime Map of Baltimore

Starter Story #2

Emily Slason, a senior at Towson, chooses to do her homework on her bedroom floor. Slason has been studying Spanish secondary education for the past three years.

Slason is currently working in a Baltimore County middle school to fulfill her mandatory internship requirement. She said she has wanted to be a Spanish teacher for as long as she can remember.

Slason is preparing a lesson plan for three middle school classes. She observed classrooms last semester in preparation for the increased involvement this year.

 

 

Slason also balances a full Spanish major on top of the education requirements. This has required careful planning in order for her to graduate in four years.

Slason keeps busy between her classes and her internship. Though it can be a tough balance, she said she has enjoyed working in the real world.
