Introduction

 




Hello! My name is Emma, and I am a currently a student at Wellesley College majoring in Neuroscience and minoring in Teaching and Learning Studies. In addition, learning Spanish has been an interest of mine for years and I am grateful to have been immersed in the language by both studying abroad and interning in Córdoba, Spain. I studied abroad with PRESHCO in Spring 2022 and was originally planning to go back to the U.S. at the end of May. However, I fell in love with Córdoba and was lucky enough to find a summer internship here funded by the Wellesley Spanish Department that aligns with my interests and is meaningful to me. I am excited to extend my time here to continue improving my Spanish and building relationships. Through this blog, I will share stories about my summer as well as my internship experiences at ACPACYS, a nonprofit organization that serves people of all ages who are affected by cerebral palsy and other disabilities. I hope this blog will inspire future PRESHCO students and/or ACPACYS interns to make the most out of their time abroad, whatever that means to them. Most importantly, I hope this blog will highlight the power of the small things.

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.

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 posts

La Furgoneta (The Van)

Image
If you meet Fran at ACPACYS, the first thing he will do is look you in the eye and greet you enthusiastically with a smile. Shortly thereafter, the word "furgoneta" or "van" in English will likely come up in conversation. Fran has challenges in both receptive and expressive language, in other words his ability to speak coherently and understand others is affected. Communicating with him does require some imagination as he can be difficult to understand, but one thing that is crystal clear about Fran is his interest in vans. He can watch YouTube videos for hours about vans and talk with anyone about vans given how social he is. Fran often asks me if I am going in the van to the pool, a type of excursion that ACPACYS offers every summer for its members to escape the heat. Although we have not gone on excursions to the pool yet (apparently it's still not hot enough, which makes me especially nervous for the July heat!), we have gone on an excursion to the movie the
