Now that I have finished with both the Spring and Summer portions of this program, I think I can offer new insight on how I am viewing both my experience and how I can connect it to my capstone project. At the beginning of my experience, I was honestly pretty overwhelmed with the fact thatContinue reading “Reflection”

Putting It All Together
After I had been accepted into the Global Scholars program, I was excited (and a little anxious) about what my summer would hold. I didn’t know where I’d be going or how I would get there but I just knew I would go somewhere abroad. Additionally, I knew that my experience would be along theContinue reading “Putting It All Together”
How does the media view camp?
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?”
All around Belize
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”
Combating Globalization and Promoting Equality: Mongolia’s Vision

The Stories of Life
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”
Farewell to my experience!
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!”
Graduation from TEFL!
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!”
That’s A Wrap London!
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!”
