My Travel Story

by: Giselle Martín Start Date: Aug 2, 2021 - End Date: Nov 19, 2021
Hi! My name is Giselle and I am a first-generation, Mexican-American college student at Mount Mary University. I am a double major in Spanish, English with a Writing for New Media concentration while also pursuing a Peacebuilding certificate. Every day I walk down the halls of my university I can't help but notice that the posters about study abroad lack representation of Hispanic students. I am more than eager to pave the way for more Hispanics studying abroad and would love to pursue the opportunity of studying abroad in Guatemala through Mount Mary's Faculty-led program. I would stay with a host family and get full immersion into the culture and we'd also get to do service by working with an organization that helps get purified water into the remote villages that we will be staying in and learning about. This experience will be very beneficial for my Spanish language major and an indispensable, altruistic  learning experience for my Peacebuilding certificate.
