My Growth in Dublin

Looking back at my experience in Dublin, I realize how much I have grown this summer throughout this internship program. After fully relaxing from months of talking to new people, navigating an office workplace, visiting incredible places, and overall making a new life abroad, I now come back to reflect. Personally, I believe I grew…

Finishing Up

I cannot believe we’ve arrived at the last week of my European summer. After arriving home from Manchester at way-too-early-o’clock this morning, I have started to prepare to leave my apartment and life I’ve lead while I have been here. There is so much packing to do and so many activities I want to cross…

Lost in Communication?

I cannot believe this International Internship Program is over in two weeks. While I will be staying in Europe with my family for an additional week after my internship ends, the life I have been living for the past six weeks will be no more, and I will have to revert to my lifestyle in…

Sweete Leading in Dublin

I can’t believe I have been working in Dublin for a month and a half already, but at the same time, I feel like I have navigated many learning experiences, whether in a social, cultural, professional, or maturity sense. As quickly as these weeks have gone by, I have really learned a lot about myself…

Sweete Skills

Throughout my internship at Sweete, I have had the opportunity to develop both technical and interpersonal skills that will be beneficial to me in many future avenues of my career.

While living here for the past three weeks has helped me assimilate with these lifestyle changes, some things will require more getting used to. I’ve mostly adjusted to answering questions that, in…

What’s Going On?

I’ve worked my internship for a whole week, and what an eye-opening experience it has been! Everyone has been so welcoming. Even though it is a small company, and most of my coworkers have been working together for a long time, it has been a privilege to join their company and contribute where I can….

Time Management Predictions

A week in Dublin has passed, and I have taken part in many excursions across the area, had conversations with incredible people, and learned new things about the country I’ve been living in. Today, I start my internship, and I am super excited, but also a little nervous. I practiced my commute, know where the…

Finally Here!

Well, I’ve been in Dublin for about three days, toured many new sites, taxied around the city centre, ate several different cuisines, moved into my new housing, had my first grocery store mishap, took a public Irish bus, and whew! What an eventful start to these next eight weeks. I write this blog post after…
