My heritage has inspired me to pursue Italian Studies along with medicine, both of which I intend to bridge through my education at Notre Dame and in Italy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I look toward the future, I plan to become fluent in Italian and fully integrate myself into the wonderful culture. My experiences with Italian will promote my career aspirations to practice as a physician in both the United States and Italy, providing pro-bono care to those in need across the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SLA grant is directly supporting my goals by allowing me to take language and culture classes this summer in Siena, Italy. At the Dante Alighieri School in Siena, I will be able to accelerate my language development through an integrated learning environment which provides complete exposure to the Italian lifestyle. I am extremely blessed to be able to take part in such an excellent program with the help of the SLA grant and I believe it will significantly enhance my academic and personal growth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>E-mail: gbiondo@nd.eduLanguage: ItalianLocation of Study: Siena, ItalyProgram of Study: Dante Alighieri School Summer Study AbroadSponsors:&nbsp;The Albert J. and Helen M.
