The Emerald Summer 2020 | Page 156

Gabriela Acevedo-Solis Bachelors in Middle/High Social Science Education with a minor in Spanish What is something that you are most proud of? I am most proud of stepping out of my comfort zone and studying abroad in Rosario, Argentina. It was my first time flying out of the country and a very enriching experience. I studied Criminal Justice and Sociology at the National University of Rosario—Law School where I also involved myself in international service learning by working in correctional institutions in Rosario. Future Plans & Goals This fall, I have accepted a position as a 6th Grade Social Studies Teacher at Salem/Keizer School District 24J. This summer, I will also be beginning my masters program in Masters of Science in Education. Future Plans & Goals I chose to join KDChi because I wanted to be able to develop myself more professionally, get out of my comfort zone, and most importantly be apart of an organization that is strongly committed to community service, academics, and leadership opportunities. I was also wanting to experience the sisterhood and meet new people while making memorable memories.
