I was born in one continent, raised in one continent and now call Ridgefield my home.
With the available technologies, our world has become one place. Our children are growing up with the internet, text messages and other methods to connect 24/7 to different continents. We have to accept that this is a global world.
I came to this country in order to search for my opportunities. This worked because I was able to speak the language. Our children might be leaving and search for their opportunities on the other side of the world. However, they will only be successful if they are well-prepared. They have to be able to understand different countries culture, and this only works if they can connect to the people of that culture by speaking their language.
I speak five languages, let Ridgefield students at least speak two. Vote for me on November 3 and I will assure you that our students will be compatable on the global market.
