I am Kate Krotzer, a 2003 GHS graduate. Currently, I am a senior at UCONN in the Neag School of Education studying Spanish Education. I started learning Spanish in second grade at Hebron Avenue School and I continued up to AP Spanish at GHS. Now it's my major and soon I'll be teaching it. I have always enjoyed Spanish and am glad to have had the opportunity to start it so early. As a sophomore at UCONN I studied abroad in Granada, Spain, and had a fabulous time living with a Spanish family, taking classes and exploring the city all the while using and perfecting my Spanish skills.  I liked it so much that I went back this past May to visit! I feel that my positive language learning experiences in Glastonbury have helped me to develop my appreciation and interest in learning Spanish and gave me the strong foundation I needed to have such a comfort level with Spanish that allowed me to study it successfully in college. I can't wait until I have the chance to teach students a language so that it can become a part of their lives like it has mine.
