The Review
Elena’s Senior Project exemplifies everything the Global Studies and World Languages Academy stands for. It was rigorous and academic. It related to an important issue--the cultural make-up of Filipino teenagers in diaspora--that is as global as it is local. And then Elena brought this project into the community with a well-organized Summit at Tallwood, a Summit attended not merely (or even mostly) by Tallwood students, but by members of the local community. Participants ate Filipino food, learned about different cultural ideas regarding social media, and even video chatted with students in Olongapo, Philippines. I cannot overstate how dedicated Elena was to this action, and that dedication was on display.
