Today marks the conclusion of my second week in Dublin, and I already feel much more settled and confident in my new environment. What felt completely unfamiliar just two weeks ago is quickly becoming a place where I feel comfortable navigating daily life and embracing new experiences. Between the start of my internship and the…

Understanding a healthy service providing environment
I am going to be working at St. John of God Dublin Southeast. It is a community-based service that provides support services to children and adults with intellectual disabilities all throughout the Dublin southeast community.

Charles This, Charles That
It is wild to think that a week here in Prague has already gone by, as it has easily been one of the most eventful weeks of my life. From starting the week with an Old Town walking tour, to ending the week with a gloomy, but gorgeous trip to Kutná Hora, it has been…
Settling Into my First Full Week at HEYL
It feels unreal to think that this past week was my first full week at HEYL. It seems like I have been in Germany for months, yet somehow at the same time, I feel like I only arrived a few days ago. This week was so busy that I had to look back in my…
Learning to Appreciate the Architecture

Ambiguity can often feel threatening, and it is uncomfortable to walk through life not knowing what will happen next. However, that is an inevitable part of the journey, and you just have to accept that…
Living on Aussie Time
Wow, how time flies! As I am writing this, we are already entering our third weekend here, and it is still hard for me to believe that I am in Australia. It just does not seem real. Maybe because I have yet to have a chance to just sit back and relax, or because the…
The Standards For ID Services

I will be working at St. John of God ID Services, which is a community-based mental disability and health service that supports roughly 750 children and adults with intellectual disabilities across South-East County Dublin. They prioritize…
