After completing the internship and the Spanish programme, I would like to have developed the qualities of independence and self-motivation as much as possible. In my opinion, these are two of the most important building blocks for realizing my own potential to the best of my ability.

After having finished my work experience and spanish program here in Spark, I will have learnt how to deal with new situations and new people, such as how to connect and integrate myself into those new things. I will have achieved this by working on my social skills. Being able to deal with new situation is really important in life and it will help me to learn to step out of my comfort zone.

Just graduated and ready for a next adventure I started to look at jobs outside of the Netherlands. Soon enough I found Spark and as the name says the connection was there. Spark was not completely new to me since my sister also did an internship here about six years ago. It was nice to hear that besides some small changes Spark remained the nice and safe space for students to come and learn English.
I started this adventure with four goals I will achieve in the next six months working at Spark.

After having completed this work experience and Spanish program, I will have learnt to be independent, responsible and how to organize time better by planning my project at Spark.

Furthermore I will also learn much more about myself, about my strengths and weaknesses, about my abilities and how to make use of them in order to contribute in the team.

Después de completar esta experiencia laboral y el programa de español, habré
aprendido a trabajar de una forma más efectiva e independiente y conseguir mis
objetivos sin miedo al fracaso.

Voy a adquirir experiencia laboral realizando las tareas encomendadas y conocer la
cultura española más de cerca. Además, mejoraré mi nivel de español y mis habilidades sociales viviendo y pasando tiempo con una familia española, pero también hablando con mis compañeros de trabajo.

Como estoy planeando viajar a Sudamérica después de mi bachillerato y trabajar allí
durante un año como tutora o profesora de niños, las prácticas también me
brindarán la oportunidad de prepararme mejor para este tiempo. La experiencia de
trabajo no sólo me preparará para vivir y trabajar en un país hispanohablante sino
también me permitirá conocer de cerca la vida diaria de una profesora auxiliar.

Más allá, los trabajos de diseño de interiores impulsarán mi creatividad.
Mis compañeros de trabajo, mi supervisor y mi profesora me verán como una
persona cordial, aplicada y abierta que no se rinde en situaciones difíciles sino que
sigue trabajando hasta resolver el problema.

En general, mejoraré mi nivel de lengua y mis habilidades sociales, me prepararé
para pasar un año en Latinoamérica y aprenderé cómo trabajar con más
independencia, efectividad y seguridad de mi misma.

After having completed this Spanish work experience, I will have learnt how to organise my time better. This will help me to reach a goal without wasting any time due to disorganisation. While planning my project at Spark I will also learn to be more responsible and independent. Skills like being responsible and independent are the key to a successful career and future.

After having completed this work experience and spanish programme, I will have learned how to focus on my goals and how I want to achieve those, in order to find the right ways of working for myself and learn how to solve any problems that might come up whilst working. I will have achieved that by improving my planning and organisation skills, but also by being spontaneous if needed.

I am doing a work experience and spanish programme in El Puerto de Santa Maria and this is my mission statement stating what i will achieve whilst here in Spain.

My vision is to learn about the spanish culture and the spanish language better. I also want to get to know new people, like my host family here.

I´m very happy to be here and very excited what will be expected of me in the next weeks. I have been always interested in a language exchange with Spanish host family therefore I hope that my Spanish will increase a lot over the time here. But not only that intention brought me here. To be alone with no family for the first time for such a long time can be terrifying at first because it demands independency, and responsibility but more over freedom. I pretty sure it will help me with my personal self-development and will prepare me for the rest of my life. I really like making new experiences, learning new thinks and general improvement. I´m looking forward to get to know the Spanish culture better as well as and the way of living here.
