Shaheed Sabrin, English Language Fellow to Malaysia, 2014-2016

As a U.S. Department of State English Language Fellow, I exercised my skills at being able to sustain the attention of large groups. Along the way, students had fun, too!!! #StudyAbroadBecause you’ll enjoy tackling the uncertainty, unknown, and surprises of being in a foreign country. Here I am embracing the responsibility of teaching 412 elementary school students at an English language motivation workshop in Jeli, Malaysia!!!! #CitizenDiplomacy is where great change takes place. Take the leap!!!!! @elprograms

#StudyAbroadBecause there are languages to be spoken. Thank you @statedept and @deptofdefense for supporting my mission to communicate with youth worldwide through not only foreign languages, but also the universal language of hip-hop.
