My Travel Story

by: Renee Meeks Start Date: Mar 12, 2025 - End Date: Jun 10, 2025
Please, assist me with my Odyssey to the home of the Greek and Roman heros. This summer I've been given the opportunity to experience Rome, Italy as a part of a study abroad through the CIEE program. On this trip I will expand my ability to immerse my readers in a world of my own creation, while seeping myself in the rich culture and history that Italy has to offer. I have earned a partial scholarship, but sadly it is not enough to send me on this life changing journey. My parents are teachers and coaches, constantly giving back to the world, but making less finacially. I hope to apply all of the experiences, learning, and creativity I am bound to aquire to my dreams of writing nevels and building video game worlds. I have even dared to dream of being a movie director or writer, bringing my words and stories to life.  I currently have a 4.5 GPA  and play both beach and indoor volleyball. I work hard at everything I am tasked to accomplish. I am hoping to fine tune my artistic spark and embark on this endeavor with your help!
