Felicidades to Anna Mervosh, the World Languages Student of the Month for November. Anna is a junior at Suffield High School, a representative for the World Language Honors Society and is currently enrolled in Spanish III Honors. Anna exhibits superior language skills in both oral and written Spanish. She sets high expectations for herself and is a model member of the classroom community.
Anna enjoys learning Spanish because of the communicative and cultural aspects that the language -learning experience provides. She says, “I appreciate the opportunity to understand another language and connect with a different culture.” She hopes to apply her skills and cultural appreciation through travel. She insightfully added, “Knowing another language will also be a valuable skill to have for choosing a career.”
Anna also has a broad range of academic interests including politics, literature, music, environmental studies and history, the latter which she hopes to study further in college. Her extracurricular activities keep her busy, as she is a member of the National Honors Society, co-captain of the Academic Quiz Team, pianist in the jazz ensemble, Writing Center coach and a member of Giraffe Club.
Anna manages to find time after school to work at Kent Memorial Library as a page and is planning her Gold Award Project for Girl Scouts at a local soup kitchen. She also enjoys reading, the outdoors as well as spending time with family and friends. Anna has a love for learning, demonstrates excellence in Spanish, is committed to serving her community, and is well deserving of this recognition.
