Zachary+VanSickle

Diverse Aspects of Curriculum
Hey everyone! My name is Zachary VanSickle this is my fourth year at MSU double majoring in Interdisciplinary Social Science for International Studies and Mandarin. My minor is history and I can not get enough of it. I am really excited for this class and all of the opportunities that we will have to learn how to become better and more effective teachers. I speak Mandarin Chinese and have a deep interest in the history, culture, and modern day social aspects of China as a whole.

My future career goals include finding a job in a high school or middle school as a social studies teacher and or a Mandarin Chinese teacher.

I am married and my wife is pictured above with me in China. She is also at Michigan State, but is doing her Ph.D. in Genetics specializing in pediatric cancer research. My interests are reading, sketching, and basketball. I played trumpet as a member of the Spartan Marching Band for 2 years and it was one of the greatest experiences of college. If you have not had an opportunity to see them perform here is a link to a video: [|Spartan Marching Band].

I am looking forward to this semester and I wish everyone the best of luck!
