"I've made great friends through the SITES program. It has also facilitated my connection and attachment to the town of Oberlin. It is so important for students to give back in the ways that they can to this community. SITES allowed me to do just that. Because of my experience in SITES - I am a better leader, bilingual communicator, and educator. I've learned how to manage a team, work constructively with my co-teachers, and be flexible and open-minded in and outside of the classroom. SITES without a doubt helped me get a Fulbright! It is because of my experience in SITES that I not only identified my passion for education but also now have the experience necessary to feel confident post-grad teaching abroad!"
