Seeing "The Good Side in Humanity"

One of the best ways to grow as a person is to delve into the lifestyle of other people, to put ourselves in others’ shoes. Internships, especially ones that take place outside of your own cultural bubble, allow you to do just that 💫🌐.

Need proof? Take a listen to one recent graduate from The Bridge who completed an internship at the bustling Central Market of Atenas. 

"Seeing a community where people just want others to thrive and be happy gave me a different perspective on life. I learned to see the good side in humanity."

Experiences like the ones the young adults have during their internships at The Bridge create flexibility and adaptability in students, both of which are essential skills to independent living.​

"I would talk with strangers, talk with locals, just kind of chat it up. I didn't have to take it so seriously all the time. I learned to just be relaxed and not have to worry about everything at the same time."
