I have one last week here in my internship. It is bittersweet having to close this chapter. Before the start of this internship, it felt as if this would feel so much longer than the program. But after the program, I will not be leaving right away. I am here for an extra two weeks….

Succeeding Abroad
In terms of being successful in my position, I feel I have accomplished that. Although I personally have some hesitancy in claiming that my boss has said that I have had a lot of success at my job and that I have done, overall, an excellent job. This is my last week at my job,…
Last Week Here!!!
The time has finally come, it is the final week in Berlin. It really has been an incredible experience, not only Berlin, but Europe, traveling to Dresden, Prague, Munich, Salzburg, and Potsdam.

I especially find it interesting to consider high and low context communication differences between Spain and the United States due to my background. I was born in Spain, and have spent a considerable portion of my life here….
