\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013May 9, 2008–Marjorie Johnson of Wakefield grew up hearing snatches of French because her parents and her sister spoke it. But the 溏心vlog免费B站 sophomore didn\u2019t begin studying the language until she enrolled at 溏心vlog免费B站. <\/p>\n


\n\tDuring her junior year, the 溏心vlog免费B站 student will be hearing a lot more si vous plaits and bonjours, and eating a lot more croissants. That\u2019s because she\u2019ll study at the University of Laval, Quebec in the fall and at the University of Paris at Nanterre, a half-hour outside of the City of Lights next spring. <\/p>\n


\n\tHer studies are funded, in part, by two prestigious scholarships: she won the national $1,000 Phi Kappa Phi scholarship for study abroad (out of 349 other applicants) and received another $1,000 scholarship for French majors studying abroad from the French Embassy.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cI chose to study French because I love the language and culture, and I know that being able to speak a foreign language will open doors for me in many different professional fields,\u201d she says. \u201cImmersing myself in the language abroad is the best way to learn it thoroughly.\u201d <\/p>\n


\n\tThe 20-year-old not only speaks French, she also writes poetry. She began writing poetry and running a literary journal while attending South Kingstown High School. <\/p>\n


\n\tThis spring she received the New Leaves Press poetry prize for her poem As the Stars in the campus-wide poetry competition.

\nAs the Stars<\/p>\n


\nTonight I am cartwheel and grass,

\nsong, spirit, word without puzzle.

\nI am turned on my head, feeling life in my blood.<\/p>\n


\nI stopped myself for a minute in an eternal look at the night.

\nMy thoughts stopped spinning;

\nmy heart started beating in time with my breath.

\nI am as the stars.<\/p>\n


\nI choose challenge, choose peace, and choose love.

\nSlash the borders, break the boxes, fly over the paths that, a moment ago,

\nI desperately clung to.<\/p>\n


\n\tJohnson\u2019s future career possibilities include becoming a publisher because she enjoys reading and editing and would like having an insider’s perspective on the world of literature or a teacher at an international school because she likes working with children from diverse backgrounds. Both jobs would give her the potential opportunity to use French on a regular basis.<\/p>\n


\n\tJohnson isn\u2019t the only family member at 溏心vlog免费B站. Her father, Galen Johnson, is a longtime, well-respected philosophy professor and current director of the University\u2019s Center for Humanities. <\/p>\n
