So it is a wonderful program that helps students from different district such as my former district kills broke school district, become a bilingual teacher in that district. So every summer they give me an internship where I interned with Hills School district. I do a lot of work with them, like teach in a micro until summer school. Then I am also guaranteed a position as a teacher in the district as soon as I graduate. Then we also do a lot of fun events and academic success within the program itself. Okay, so how would you describe the student? So I think the student body here who is very diverse, and I think we represent that well. You have a lot of different clubs such as M iss.

I love that because you really get to know your professor and they really strive to make sure that students are coming to their office hours and they're getting to know their students. So I've gotten really close to a lot of professors, and I know that later on down the line that they'll be willing to help me with anything that I'm struggling with. Yes, okay, So what is your favorite and least favorite part about? Blue? Why are you answering this question favorite part about Luke. I think it's just how many majors that we have here on campus. So I have so many friends with so many different majors, and you just get to meet someone on a daily basis from like, so many different walks of life. They have so many different aspirations, and I think that's cool. My least favorite part about Lou is probably down that we're stuck in Monmouth and people needing to do in Monmouth organ that is the town that no one has ever heard of is to go to school. So if you ever want to go shopping and I love like a target. The closest target is and sailor Sam Salem's about a thirty minute drive from here. So any time you want to do something fun, you know, you kind of gotta go to independence, which doesn't even have that many options but has a little bit more than monument. Or you have to go to Salem recorded for balance, and it's just like I want to drive everywhere. I kind of just want to walk some places yeah, so se Llama was about thirty minutes on that's on a highway for palace in about thirty minutes. Still not a lot, because it only has about ten thousand people. What is your favorite place to eat off campus under a moment for me? Okay, I'm gonna butcher this name, but it's called Man Ciotti and its independence and super cute little Italian restaurant. I always go there, kind of when we want, like, a fancy dinner. So when my friends and I got placed to b R A D, that's where we went to celebrate the fact that we're going to be our a's. So it's kind of like a fancier place that's a little bit more expensive. It's so good and so much fun, just like and it's such a pretty, like small the atmosphere All right. Is there anything else you'd like to add to Se Teoh tour?
