Hi,
Thank you for visiting my campaign. My name is Alyssa Mitchell. I
am currently a sophomore at the University of Kansas studying Spanish and
Pre-Med. I am trying to raise money to get the opportunity to travel to
Barcelona this summer with the University of Kansas's summer study abroad
program. I would be going for 6 weeks and earn 6 credits from intense Spanish
courses while I am there.
I
finished my application, now what.
I have been looking into the Barcelona program for a very long
time now. I finalized my application and was ready to submit it when I finally
found out the cost of the program, now I need to raise the funds in order to be
able to make this dream a reality. This program is really a once in a lifetime opportunity
because of the level of Spanish that I am already at, if I don't study abroad
this summer I won't be able to ever again. This program would consist of 6
weeks of schooling, 2 Spanish classes, and living with a host family. I have
taken all of the necessary steps to qualify for this program and to carefully
write out my application. I have planned everything from here on out around me
getting the opportunity to study abroad this summer. As you can tell this is a
huge deal for me and I don't know what I would do if I missed this opportunity.
How
can you help?
The program consists of 3 different fee's, tuition, program fees and
extra costs. All together totaling way more money than I can come up with. I
would be forever grateful for any and all that donate to this campaign so that
i can have the wonderful opportunity of studying abroad in Barcelona this
summer. If you can't donate, I understand, but please please please help me
reach my goal. Please spread the word, share this link, anything you can do, it
all helps.
From
the bottom of my heart thank you very much you don't know how much this would
mean for me.
