El Poder de Nuestras Voces/ The Power of Our Voices

 This summer, I got in touch with a Wellesley alum who interned at ACPACYS in 2014 after I read about a project he had done called El Poder de Nuestras Voces/ The Power of Our Voices that interested me. The alum began this project to illuminate the voices of the people of ACPACYS and I wanted to add onto it. I wanted to share the link to the blog site for those who would like to take a look:

A Visit from my Granddad

Image
During the summer, I had the opportunity to meet up with my granddad in Madrid during his trip to Spain. I hadn't seen my family in six months, so I was thrilled that the timing worked out. We went out for drinks, took a double decker bus around the city, walked around Puerta del Sol and went to La Mallorquina (the best bakery I have ever been to), went to the Sorolla Museum, and played lots of chess on the hotel patio using my mini chess board that I carry with me everywhere I go. My grandad taught me how to play chess last year after we both watched the Queen's Gambit on Netflix, and chess is now one of my favorite hobbies. What I was even more thrilled about though, is everything that my granddad can still do at 90 years old. Not only does he still travel internationally but he also paints the inside of his house, cooks meals from scratch and hosts dinners, drives his car and his motor boat, plays golf, walks miles without assistance, and has excellent mental acuity. Until h...

PRESHCO Reunion in Almería

Image
 When people ask me why I chose to study abroad with PRESHCO, I often tell them about how valuable the language immersion aspect has been for me and how much I enjoy exploring Córdoba and other areas of Spain while making new friends. However, as a Wellesley student, I think what sets PRESHCO apart from other programs is the strong connections it has with Wellesley College and the University of Córdoba. During my sophomore year of college, I was able to live in Casa Cervantes at Wellesley College, the Spanish house on campus. Eight students live in the house as well as one language assistant, who is often a recent graduate of the University of Córdoba whose job is to work in the Spanish Department and help put together events that take place in Casa. I highly recommend Casa to any Wellesley student who is looking to practice their Spanish on a regular basis, enjoys being social, and would benefit from being in a small community where they are able to get to know everyone else in th...

Life from a 30 Degree Angle: How a Planetarium Shifted My Perspective

Image
  Hello! I am already a couple of weeks into my summer internship and I am finally posting for the first time. My time in Spain so far has been wonderful; my coworkers at my internship are friendly and helpful, I enjoy spending time with my host family, I have friends to hang out with, and I have been escaping the intense summer heat by swimming in the pool at the gym and going on excursions to the beach. However, I have taken awhile to publish here due to the writer’s block I have been struggling with. I started this blog to write about my experiences interning at ACPACYS, a nonprofit organization that helps people affected by cerebral palsy, as well as my experiences in Spain outside of my internship. However, when I sit down to write, I often worry about my posts coming across as cliche or saying the wrong thing. When I get in this mindset, I become discouraged and writing begins to feel so overwhelming that I have to step away from my keyboard. Sometimes I have ideas for blog p...
