JUSTIN BARNEY

Personal Mission Statement:
My aim as a teacher is to simply pass on my passion of the Spanish language to young people. In the classroom, I strive to equip my students with knowledge so that they can speak, understand, read, write, and appreciate the Spanish language. As global Christians, we apply this knowledge to further understand and fulfill our role to love and help those in other areas of the world who are in desperate need.

Filipenses 4:13: Todo lo puedo en Cristo que me fortalece.  

Proverbios 14:31: Quien le quita todo al pobre ofende a Dios, su creador; quien obedece a Dios trata bien al pobre.
