Emma was completely lost – no battery on her phone, unable to speak the language, and with no memory of her new address. “¿Dónde está…?” – blank…
What could have been a disaster during the first week of her exchange semester in Valencia became a defining moment instead. Emma stayed calm, retraced her steps, and eventually found her way home. But more importantly, she found confidence in her ability to navigate the unknown.
That experience continues to shape her as an engineer today. Because in engineering, just like in life, you rarely have all the answers from the start. You find your way by staying curious, adapting, and moving forward, one creative solution at a time.
