My American Internship: Lorna O. of Colombia
Authored By:
Our "My American Internship" series features CIEE BridgeUSA participants who submitted entries to our photo essay contest. Lorna O. of Colombia served as an intern at Vega Produce in Medley, Florida.
Living in Miami while doing my internship in the United States has been one of the most enriching experiences of my life. Not only have I had the chance to grow professionally in a multicultural environment, but I’ve also been able to explore the diversity and beauty this country has to offer.
During my time here, I visited incredible places like Tampa, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, and some parts of Utah. Each destination has shown me a completely different side of the U.S. – from the vibrant city lights of Las Vegas to the breathtaking views of the Grand Canyon. These trips have helped me better understand the cultural and natural richness of this nation.
One of my favorite moments was standing at the edge of the Grand Canyon, feeling small in front of such immensity. It reminded me how vast and unique this country truly is. I also had an amazing time in Las Vegas, where I experienced a completely different kind of energy and lifestyle.
I hope to continue discovering more of this incredible country. Every place I’ve visited so far has left a mark on me, and I look forward to making even more memories.
