Hello, my name is Taylor Williams and I am an Education Major at Arizona State University. I am originally from Seattle, Wa., but I have lived in Arizona for a little over 10 years now. I chose to research Sweden because it is were my mother's family hails from and the traditions of the country have been deeply routed in much of my upbringing. I also got the chance to make friends with a Swedish exchange student in the 2011-2012 school year, we became best friends based on our mutual knowledge of Swedish and still talk almost daily.
