When Caitlin Cotteleer was in middle school, she completed a class project on the Middle East and discovered a new passion, eager to study more about the region, culture and language. I ve always been drawn to Arabic and the Middle East, the 16-year-old said. It s hard to describe.
Now wrapping up her junior year at Episcopal School of Acadiana, that passion is being cultivated with an intensive language and cultural scholarship program funded through the U.S. Department of State.
Caitlin has been accepted into the National Security Language Initiative for Youth s summer program to learn Arabic over eight weeks.
