Dublin Week 4 – Bella Schraa

As we are in our fourth week here in Dublin, I feel a need to express my gratitude not just toward this program but all the people involved. I know many have touched on this but I felt as though I wanted to emphasize the amazing people I have met on this trip.

Bella Schraa Week 1 in Dublin

Arriving in Dublin, I was initially nervous as I had been anxiously awaiting the arrival. I simply wanted to get to UCD and begin the classes and internship as I couldn’t wait to know exactly what was occurring. Part of that had to do with the fact that we would be in a different country and would be needing to adjust to the culture of both living here and working here. Since I have foreign parents, I was aware that the European environment and culture would be different in the United States and I was eager to explore those differences. […]
