My Travel Story

by: Dalena Nguyen Start Date: Mar 31, 2017 - End Date: Mar 30, 2018
I am Dalena Nguyen and I have the opportunity to go on an East Coast Field Trip to learn about our nation's history and cultural heritage. I would love to go to Washington D.C. with my classmates to explore the magnificent country we have become. This trip will be around Spring Break of 2018. My class will visit Washington D.C. and Virginia for a five day trip. Unfortunately, with a family of eight, it makes it hard for my parents to cover the cost of this trip.
In school, I strive to learn efficiently. I maintain excellent grades in school and am an ambassador to volunteer at school events. I have been practicing piano for 8 years and I played violin for 3 years. I am attending this year's OMTA Romantic Competition for piano to represent my teacher. I have competed for scholarships as well.
After my mom passed away from cancer when I was 5, it was difficult for my dad to raise my brother and I. A few years ago, my dad was diagnosed with cancer. Ever since, he has been trying even harder to make sure my brother and I become successful in the future.
Given the circumstances, any donations toward my trip would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for taking your time to understand the purpose of my campaign.
