To Learn in France
by: Augustine Kposowa - United StatesProgram: Study in France with World EndeavorsI learned to handle stress and surprises. Because I was behind by all week and had to make up, Then my American card was hacked and my card locked, so I opened a bank in Paris to transfer money. The immersion methods in class are 100 Xs better than in our high schools. I did some additional study outside of class reviewing vocabulary and watching a video so my French improved much more. Most things were closed so I either saw them from the outside or went to the parks which were opened. In France and there was a whole lot more of the popular stuff to see. Hearing their accent. Imagine that Italian French accent or the Australian French. The French with no who I was even if I were talking in French French are kind of alike but then they’re kind of not, this applies to people in general. Language learning has 1000 sides to it. People think they can learn quickly one way but I had to use a mixture of ways in and out of class to do what I could. Level B1 Now I know what the foreigners go through when they immigrate try to adapt themselves to a whole different country and have to speak a language different than their original.



Beyond Nutrition: A Life-Changing Internship Experience With Valencia Turia Football Club
by: Alexa Nelson - United StatesProgram: Intern in Spain with World EndeavorsMy internship with Valencia Turia Football Club was a life-changing experience, both professionally and personally. As the primary nutrition resource for the team, I provided daily counseling sessions to eight players, helping optimize their performance, health, and recovery. All players varied in age and skill level, displaying unique goals and barriers to diet change. With this diversity it challenged me to work with different types of athletes and created individually tailored plans. This hands-on experience allowed me to apply my knowledge of sports nutrition in real-world scenarios, giving me invaluable insights into the dietary needs of semi-professional athletes. Thanks to World Endeavors, the entire process—from securing the internship to finding safe housing—was seamless, and I was pleasantly surprised by how easily I made new connections. Beyond the internship, I had the opportunity to travel throughout Spain, visiting 10 cities and towns and fully immersing myself in the culture. After the internship was complete, I spent three weeks solo traveling across Europe, further broadening my horizons by exploring new cultures, languages, and cuisines. This internship not only sharpened my skills as a nutritionist but also deepened my appreciation for cultures around the world. I’m incredibly grateful for this experience and excited to apply what I’ve learned in both my career and personal life.
