TWO ALUMNI STORIES FROM 2024
In this post, Gabriela Medina and Pedro Orsini share how the experience marked a turning point in their personal and professional journeys.
GABRIELA MEDINA
Experience
My experience in the Orange program was significant and valuable. It was full of excitement, nerves, and that special feeling of starting a new adventure. It allowed me to step outside my comfort zone and grow personally and professionally, as I arrived in a completely new place, knowing no one and relying solely on myself.
Today, I can say that I have stability, independence, and the ability to stand on my own two feet.
Life Now
Over time, I formed new friendships, discovered new opportunities, and met people who are now an essential part of my life. Thanks to the Orange program, I also met my husband, with whom I have built my life here in Tennessee. Today, I can say that I have stability, independence, and the ability to stand on my own two feet.
Orange wasn't just a program; it was the beginning of a new chapter that changed my life for the better.
PEDRO ORSINI
A separate 2024 story shaped by work experience, cultural adaptation, and a professional path that kept growing after the internship.
Experience
Hello, I hope you are all doing well. I wanted to tell you that this experience has been the best I've ever had, as I know I wouldn't have gotten this kind of experience anywhere else, and it was very helpful in my professional development. Thanks to this, I met many people from different countries who became my friends, and I learned a little about their cultures.
Today
This opportunity helped me feel comfortable working in places I'm not used to, whether because of the language or cultural differences. Right now, I work at a restaurant that I used to frequent without ever thinking it would become my current job, and I love it.
I hope that other people continue to take full advantage of this opportunity.
Thanks to this internship, my resume now makes an impact when employers look at my work experience. I can't deny that I miss working with you all, and I would like to come back at some point, as you made us feel like family. Thank you very much for the wonderful experience. I hope that other people continue to take full advantage of this opportunity.
