My Travel Story

by: Celeste Murcia Start Date: May 4, 2026 - End Date: Jun 4, 2026
I’ve been given the opportunity to participate in a cultural and STEM exchange program in China through JESIE before I begin college which will be an experience that will shape both my education and my future career. This program is about stepping into a global learning environment where I can explore science and technology in a new context while building cross cultural connections. As someone planning to college this year, this experience will give me a head start by exposing me to international perspectives in STEM which is something that’s increasingly important in today’s world. I’ll be learning alongside students from different states, visiting innovation hubs, and gaining insight into how another country approaches science, problem solving, and collaboration. This trip also matters beyond just my personal growth. I want to bring back new ideas, encouraging others to think globally, and inspiring students like me to pursue opportunities in STEM and cultural exchange. Representation matters, and I want to show that students from my background can step into global spaces and succeed. I’m passionate about this program because it combines two things that are important to me which are understanding people from different cultures and building a future in a field that can make a real difference. This is a chance for me to grow, challenge myself, and come back with knowledge and perspective that I’ll carry into college and beyond. Your support would help make this opportunity possible. Any contribution brings me one step closer to an experience that will impact my education and my career.
