Engaged in a two-week volunteer initiative in Costa Rica during the transition from 8th grade to freshman year, contributing to diverse community service projects. The initial week was dedicated to environmental conservation efforts, specifically aiding turtle populations while residing in forest cabins. This involved comprehensive general volunteer work. Transitioning to the second week, I immersed myself in the local culture by staying with a host family in a different town, accompanied by a single partner, where effective communication in Spanish was imperative throughout the duration. Engaged in communal service activities and spearheaded a community garden project, demonstrating adaptability, cultural sensitivity, and leadership in cross-cultural environments.
