Hanson is excited for the new experience, “All the new experience I think will add to my teaching ability and overall skillset of teaching in a different culture and adapting to them instead of students having to adapt to me. I think [the experience] will be unique,” he said.](https://www.shsoutherner.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Hanson.jpg)
