My name is Julien Herard. I am a sophomore and undeclared science major at Loyola Marymount University. I had the opportunity to not only teach English for this program for three weeks but I also worked on a research project focused on helping Balinese students develop their social and self-directed learning skills through peer advocacy to address the disparities with their school system. I learned a lot about the role of leadership in education on how it can go a long way in shaping the livelihood of others and the discipline that is required to make this happen.
