Hello
Today was my last day at Arte Americas. This week was not that busy and I continued to work on organizing newspaper files like I had mentioned in my last post. Since I don't have much to say about the final week, I will take the opportunity to reflect on my experience with the programs. Being apart of this program has really impacted me in ways that I could have never imagined. With my time at Arte Americas and during Washington week, I have been able to grow stronger in my communications skills. This is something I've e always felt has been a burden for me as I try to become a strong leader. I was able to practice my networking skills in Washington DC and use that while interning at Arte Americas. I would talk with our guest or work with people I had never met before. Small things like this helped me become more comfortable when talking to strangers. I got to see myself grow in short span of time. I remember being extremely nervous during the presentation of our project and having shaky hands. Today, I gave a short speech for a program's fundraiser that I was previously a part of. I was able to get up there and give a speech without feeling uncomfortable. It was probably the first time I've talked to a room of people without feeling my hands get uncontrollably shaky and feel my face get red. I'm glad that I have over come this fear of public speaking before heading into college. I no longer feel worried about my future as I know I can continue to grow as an individual. If I was able to get over this fear that I've had for as long as I can remember, I think I can survive college. I want to thank everyone that is involved in YAP and can't wait to see what we will all accomplish in the future.
Thank you
