“Equipped to pursue my career”

“Today I work at Juozas Miltinis gymnasium in my hometown of Panevėžys as an English teacher. My LCC education has given me many tools that make me feel equipped to pursue my career in teaching. It has also strengthened my Christian faith, connected me with mentors, encouraged my sense of self-worth, and provided me a safe space to be curious and creative. LCC has been a model to me, and I am excited to bring what I have learned to Panevėžys.”
