Internship placement

My internship was not my first choice but it ended up working out better than I imagined. I truly loved the work I was doing and the work environment. There was lots to do in the office as well as out in the community. Keeping an open mind is what led me to have such an awesome experience. I learned so much from the women in the office not only about the projects conducted within the organization but as well their personal lives. The office atmosphere was a mini community, a sisterhood of sorts that made me feel welcomed since the first day. I was already nervous about traveling on my own and about working in an even more unknown environment. My coworkers helped guide me about their cultural customs both informally and formally. Not only was my coworkers helpful but I found many people in general in Buenos Aires to be friendly and accommodating.
