I graduated from Ramapo College in 2009. I graduated with a major in Spanish\u00a0Language Studies, minor in Latin American Studies, and teacher certification for Spanish\u00a0K-12.\u00a0Just this year, I began my career as a Spanish teacher at Wall High School in Monmouth\u00a0County. I teach Spanish 2 and Spanish 2 Honors with students in grades 9-12.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Spanish program at Ramapo greatly impacted my ability to land this teaching job.\u00a0The size of the program and small classes with individualized attention allowed my\u00a0Spanish speaking ability to grow and develop to the level I am at now.\u00a0The program and\u00a0classes prepared me for success on the Spanish Praxis and OPI which are requirements to\u00a0pass to earn a teaching certificate for Spanish. The immersion like classes in the Spanish\u00a0program were great ways to practice and speak the language when it was not my native\u00a0language at home.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Spanish has impacted my life in ways I never could have expected. My eyes have been\u00a0opened to the world that exists beyond my home. From the Spanish program at Ramapo\u00a0and my experiences abroad in Bilbao, Spain, I have a greater appreciation and love for\u00a0the Spanish language and cultures. Spanish is an important language to know, especially\u00a0where we live in the world and diversity growing every day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I enjoy sharing this\u00a0appreciation with my students so they better understand and realize the importance of\u00a0learning a second language and about the cultures that exist beyond their own. Knowing\u00a0Spanish has allowed me to communicate with people from all over the world and get to\u00a0learn about the places they come from. I love being able to share my knowledge and\u00a0language abilities to the youth to better prepare them for the globalized world we live in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\">-Steven Wiltabank<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/major-spanish\/alumni\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-852\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/major-spanish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/246\/2014\/04\/Button-3.jpg\" alt=\"Button 3\" width=\"203\" height=\"32\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/major-spanish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/246\/2014\/04\/Button-3.jpg 203w, https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/major-spanish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/246\/2014\/04\/Button-3-100x15.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/major-spanish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/246\/2014\/04\/Button-3-152x23.jpg 152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 203px) 100vw, 203px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Hola!
