Studying, and engaging in the language learning community inspired me to help start Trojan Bloom, USC&#8217;s first multilingual journal to give students on campus a platform to share their creative works in foreign languages. As a graduating senior, seeing the community grow everyday inspires me so much to continue studying languages!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n      \n      \n      \n    <\/div>\n\n          <div
