My Travel Story

by: Mya Allen Start Date: Feb 27, 2023 - End Date: May 17, 2023
I am Mya Allen, and I am an 3.5 GPA, Interior Design student in the College of Arts program at Georgia State University. I was fortunate to be accepted to the study abroad program for the May semester to London and Scotland, and am seeking assistance to fulfill this exciting opportunity.

While, like most students, I struggled to find a program that spoke to both my creativity and project planning interest, when I finally landed on Interior Design, I knew this was the career I could love and grow in for a long time.

Unfortunately, there are not many opportunities for Interior Design students in terms of study abroad programs, in fact this is the only one! The School of Design chose London and Scotland as the destination for the design study abroad program because they felt that these destinations would be the most meaningful for our foundation in architecture. Through my History of Interior Design class, my interest was awakened in classical architecture and how we could repurpose old buildings for new uses. This study abroad opportunity is perfect to speak to the programs intent and my personal interest. Having never traveled outside of the US, this has been a long time dream of mine and anyone who knows me knows I have long had my passport ready for worldly travels.

As you can see this is an exciting opportunity, but unfortunately, not all cost are covered. Following the program recommendations, students were directed to refrain from working during this semester in preparation for the demand of the program. The program assignments have been quite demanding so I fully understand this recommendation, but it does not allow for a lot of opportunities to raise money once accepted. This is why I am seeking help to participate in the programs only study abroad trip.

I commit that my approach to this program would receive the same dedication and focus I give to all my endeavors. Your consideration is appreciated and for every dollar donated I am truly grateful.
