Durante mi estancia de dos semanas en el Puerto de Santa María he aprendido mucho. He aprendido mucho sobre el día a día en el trabajo, así como sobre la organización del tiempo y la independencia. También he podido descubrir muchas cosas nuevas y explorar paisajes que no existen en Suiza. Me ha encantado la estancia y no me arrepiento en absoluto.

My goal during this work and school experience is to get out of my comfort zone and establish new personal work habits that I can profit of in future jobs and work opportunities. Since I have never worked for more than a week, I want to use this to gain confidence in working. I will stay motivated and do the things whole-heartedly even if I have some difficulties. Because doing the things motivated makes them easier.

When I started my Spark experience, I didn’t really know what to expect. To be honest, I wasn’t super motivated at first – especially with tasks I didn’t enjoy. I realized quickly that you can’t just do what you like all the time. You also need to go through the stuff that’s uncomfortable or boring, because that’s part of the journey. You can’t start at the top – you have to work your way up. That’s how you learn to appreciate your own position and understand the full picture.

En mis dos semanas aquí en el Puerto de Santa María, me quedó con una familia de acogida. Allí, me dí cuenta que la gente española es la más amable y con mucha energía. La. madre era una muy buena cocinera y la hija tenía mucha energía pero era muy amable. El padre era tan amable todas las mañanas y me llevaba a Spark, y aunque a veces no llegaba el autobús, él me llevaba allí igualmente. Me gustó mi estancia con mi familia.

Learning a new language isn’t just about memorizing vocabulary or passing grammar tests. It’s more about immersing yourself fully in the culture, the sounds, the conversations, and the habits of daily life.
