Man these past six weeks have been tough, from experiencing culture shock, to getting sick on the second week, to reading 25 page articles till 1 AM. I repeat, man these past six weeks have been tough, but man how I wouldn’t trade them for the world. At first I didn’t really know if this trip and placement was the right fit for me, but I soon ealized that It was going be an opportunity for self-growth.These past few weeks have been weeks of learning, growing in my own language and living in a new culture, an opportunity that not many would have the privileged to say they’ve had. An experience that has impacted my life one way or another. I am truly grateful to have had this chance to expand and to step out of my comfort zone. It has helped me view the world a little bit grander, and appreciate life a little bit more. How do you say goodbye to that… Yes I do miss home, and I do miss the things that I’m accustomed to but, I know that once I get back I will want it all over again. Interning that the UNHCR allowed me to learn about what many back home don’t know, the fact that there are hundreds of individuals who witnessing war, persecution and hunger at this persist moment and more than half the world is not doing anything about it, is mind blowing. Of course we all have seem the commercials that display and encourage our participation, but nothing is better than actually being a part of an organization that works to make a difference. That works to impact others and to educate the public about the truths and hardships of being a refugee. I am grateful to be a part of a team that value my opinion and encourage my innovative ideas, making me feel like I’m part of a something bigger than myself. Yes, there has been challenging moments where I was not experienced enough or my communication was off, but there wasn’t a moment where those around me didn’t take the time to patiently guide me through every task .Those challenging moments pushed me to not only burst out of my bubble, but also enhance my skill sets that will later help me in future and I have only them to thank. Therefore, I plan to exercise the confidence and knowledge I have acquired at the UNHCR and in my Valencia experience as a whole, towards my dreams and aspirations, staying in touch with those who have help to do so. Therefore, with that being said, there is no good way to say goodbye to the people who have impacted your life, who have helped you see a little clear or who have helped you grow a little bit taller there’s no better way than Hasta Luego, see you soon Valencia, and until next time…
