It seems to me the local media outlets near Camp Boggy Creek do their best to spread the magic that happens at camp. As I mentioned before, the counselors got thrown a “Boggy Prom” for all camp counselors to attend. The Orlando Centinal came and did a story on Boggy Prom, took pictures as weContinue reading “How does the media view camp?”

I am currently three weeks into interning in Belize, and I am learning so much. I have had great experiences of presenting a PowerPoint on juvenile delinquency to the mental health board, witnessing clinical interviews, aid in paperwork and help clientele. While also aiding in forensic evaluations and talking to prisoners. This experience alone hasContinue reading “All around Belize”

From a young age, my mother always told my siblings and me different stories to not only entertain us but instill life lessons. These stories contained lessons that would not only guide us through life but make sure we got to keep it. Being raised as a minority in the United States is something thatContinue reading “The Stories of Life”

Now that my time in Valencia is coming to an end, I can start to look back and say that this summer experience has been one of the highlights of my life. I met so many interesting people, traveled to many places, and got to learn about cultures I never would have experienced had IContinue reading “Farewell to my experience!”

My experience over this past summer has been amazing. I’ve learned so much about teaching English while simultaneously building a network of international students who have all become close friends of mine. The TEFL classes were lengthy, but this was completely necessary as we needed to cover a lot of content. The staff and studentsContinue reading “Graduation from TEFL!”

My experience for the summer was very rewarding as well as informative. I walked away with so much more knowledge than what I walked in with. I also gained important writing and communication skills. There’s a major difference between reading a case and writing some solutions and hearing the case from the client’s mouth andContinue reading “That’s A Wrap London!”

This weekend before traveling to Belize my family accompanied me to Guatemala. The countries are really close, so to help me feel comfortable in my travels they went with me along the way. I am now a few days into my experience, and I love it here so far. I will be interning at 3Continue reading “Guatemala to Belize!”

Good evening from Valencia! Above is a map and a picture from some of the spaces I have been visiting and hanging out in in the city. On the first image, the apartment I have been living in is right behind the monument labeled Torres De Serranos, which has been a great location. It givesContinue reading “Mapping my Daily Life”

I spent most of my time this summer at the HCB, in Strozier Library, on Landis Green, and at the Hecht house. I lived off-campus this summer, so I would drive to campus early in the morning and spend the entirety of my day in various places on campus. First, I would park in TraditionsContinue reading “A Map of Daily Life: TEFL & Summer Classes”
