Erin Miller's Internship Experience in Buenos Aires

My name is Erin, and I'm from Louisville, Kentucky, and I go to Western Kentucky University. I participated in a six-week-long internship program, and I worked for an NGO. My favorite part was that I've always wanted to work for an NGO, and I was super thrilled to have the experience while I was still in college. I was able to get the hands-on experience working in a villa, a shanty town of Buenos Aires, helping kids at school, helping them make sure they stay focused and get individualized attention. I also got to have the office experience, working with the fundraising aspects, donation aspects, campaigning, and all that kind of stuff. So I really got to see both sides and how the NGO operates and how it works to achieve its goals in Buenos Aires. And I think my favorite part was how much Spanish I was able to speak, speaking Spanish every single day, and I'm leaving Buenos Aires this time completely confident in my language skills. I'm really excited to see where my language skills and where this experience will take me as far as where I go next, what I do next, and how it will influence me. I had an amazing time.
