Interning in Barcelona allowed me to experience what working with a non-profit was really like. I was able to discover that I loved the hands-on and person-to-person aspect of working at a non-profit.
I had previously thought I wanted a different career path; however, my internship in Barcelona showed me that I value passion, personability, and value-based projects rather than a typical work structure. I never would have known that unless I had this opportunity. Barcelona is also such a wonderful environment that evokes adventure in an individual. I not only wanted to explore Spain, and the surrounding countries, but I wanted to explore different aspects about myself.
I was able to try new things without the fear of failing because there was always a different avenue I could take. There would be another train, sign up, store, trip, etc. The possibilities seemed endless and it was truly a summer I'll never forget.
