STRIVE College Internship - Peru 2019

Sep 19, 2019

My experience as an intern with STRIVE in Peru this summer was one that I will never forget. Going into the program I was not sure what to expect, but whatever expectations I had were far surpassed. The three tenets of the program - service, athletics, and adventure - each served as opportunities to grow and learn with the people around me. Being surrounded with people from different backgrounds but with common interests and values made each day unique. My favorite experience from this summer was cooking dinner each night with the other interns and staff - it was a time to reflect on the day, try our hand at Peruvian bargaining, and form strong bonds. The trek at the end of the trip was an amazing way to culminate the experience and allowed me to get to know some of the high schoolers better - there is no better way to get to know someone than walk 20 miles per day with them! I would recommend this program to any athlete who is interested in traveling, running, service, and a holistic experience.

What was your funniest moment?
My funniest moment was in Ollantaytambo when the interns were doing a hike on a free day. We chose to hike up to a cell phone tower that we could see from our hostel. It ended up being the most difficult hike I had ever completed - once we got to the tower, we looked down and saw that we had gone up the most difficult route we possibly could! Although physically difficult, it was definitely one of my favorite days.
