¡Hola Amigos! ¿Como Estas?

Professor of Spanish Michaela Cosgrove
Professor Cosgrove, my Intro to Spanish teacher, is my hero.
All throughout high school, I haven’t been able to grasp vocabulary, verb forms, etc. You would think that after three years of high school Spanish I would be able to speak it fluently. However, that is not the case. It has slowly come back to me this semester with the help of Professor Cosgrove.
She drills the terms and verb forms with daily quizzes and everyday makes us use what we have learned thus far in class. She is one of the best teachers I have ever had. It is refreshing to say that she really has a passion for teaching and won’t leave anyone behind if they are struggling.
To really give you a sense of devotion, Professor Cosgrove met with me at 7:30 a.m. (the only time she had avaliable) because I was having a hard time with verb forms for the mid-term later that day. My advisor had pushed me to take Spanish this year because the profession that I am looking to proceed with after college, probation, has many people “in the system” who do not speak English, but Spanish.
I am very lucky to have Professor Cosgrove as a teacher this semester. I have learned so much already this semester and will continue to learn until the last day of this class.
A big thanks to Professor Cosgrove for pushing me to learn and apply what I have learned everyday.
