Then in college, when he started learning Mandarin, a deep love of languages took hold, and he began to make new plans. After graduating, Farley entered a program to become a speech-language pathologist. This path seemed like the best way to blend his love of linguistics with his interest in teaching — that is, until he took a job as a paraprofessional at an elementary school in his hometown of Corona, Califo
