Costa Rica
This experience has greatly impacted my future; I fulfilled my graduation requirement and graduated with a BA in International Business which is the first step to establishing a career in the real world. This internship is also something that stands out on my resume and may have given me that edge over my peers; I believe that it helped me land a job immediately after graduation and has opened the door for more opportunities down the line (I am currently working full-time as a manager trainee).

This experience has greatly impacted my future; I fulfilled my graduation requirement and graduated with a BA in International Business which is the first step to establishing a career in the real world. This internship is also something that stands out on my resume and may have given me that edge over my peers; I believe that it helped me land a job immediately after graduation and has opened the door for more opportunities down the line (I am currently working full-time as a manager trainee). I also can assure you that this experience has made the biggest impact on my personal life. I learned so much and grew so much as a person in those 3 months; I left behind a lot of things that were holding back and moved on to bigger and better things. It opened my mind tremendously and made me realize what my priorities in life should be. It also has given me the travel bug and the yearning to continue to travel; I have been to Europe, am currently planning a trip to Thailand, and will be searching for an MBA program that has a minimum of a year study abroad, so I can do it all over again. I made so many new friends (especially my host family and internship family whom I consider like relatives for life), and experienced so many amazing things, I cannot even begin to scratch the surface. If you are considering taking part in such an endeavor, keep an open mind and you will never regret your decision. PURA VIDA!!!!!!!
