Hello Sweetie

My name is Alex McGill. If you haven't already, you might want to watch the included video. If you don't have time that's okay, I will do a recap of everything in these sections. So you know my name is Alex but here is some additional information to help you get to know me a little better. 

  • I am a junior at the University of South Carolina. 
  • My major is International Relations and my minors are Criminal Justice and Film and Media Studies.
  • Like most people I want to change the world, and I think I start in Prague.

This coming semester (Spring 2014) is the only time that I will be able to study abroad, so I don't exaggerate when I say - Prague is the chance of a lifetime.

Creating Change

I believe you should know where your money is going, so I've included some helpful links:

  • This link is to the program that I would be going on. 
  • These are the websites(A/B) off which I got the pictures of Prague that are in the video.
  • If you are really interested, here is a link to my blog that I will be posting on while abroad.

The program link gives you the clearest idea of where the money would be going. I need the $1100 to cover the deposit and an application fee. Any amount I got over that would go towards buying a plane ticket, food, housing, textbooks, etc. 

I don't want your giving to be a one way street; I would like to give back to you too. I've come up with some interesting perks as a way to say thank you for your help. Everything from postcards to souvenirs and more are all a part of the thank you packages I've come up with.

On a slightly different note, if I do get to study abroad then I plan on making a small film about my trip or something along those lines. If you donate then I would add your name to the credits. 

If I don't reach my entire goal the funds still go to helping me study abroad. I will keep trying until it's too late for me to try any longer. 

Ripple Effect

I want you to know that you've already made a difference. If you are looking at this page then that means that right now you've taken a step towards helping me. You might not, you may change your mind, or you might donate, but right now you are already making a difference. 

My grades are good, my schedule fits, but the only thing holding me back is the money aspect. For me, studying in Prague is a chance to learn a new language, meet new and wonderful people, study in a new city, and change the world. It may sound corny but what if you donate today and I get to study abroad in Prague in the Spring. Then while I'm abroad I influence someone, maybe over a small thing, maybe over a large thing, but still I've changed things and so have you. By giving me the opportunity to study abroad, you are giving me the chance to change the world, to make a difference, and that in turn means you make a difference, you've changed the world.  

More Than A Donation 

There are three main ways in which you can contribute to this project:

  • 1. Donate: There are some amounts that are set up with perks but you can donate as much or as little as you like.
  • 2. Share: If you cannot donate that is okay too. Please share this with as many people as you can - family, friends, co-workers, a lottery winner - anyone you can think of. 
  • 3. Pray: This is the most important one of all. If you would please ask God to guide me and that if I do get to study abroad, He would use that time to strengthen my faith and show me the path he wants me to be on.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my project. Hopefully I'll be writing you a thank you note from Prague soon. If you have any questions please feel free to message me.
