To celebrate our high school graduation, we have chosen an international trip in lieu of a graduation party. We have each chosen a country of interest and will be traveling together at the end of June, 2025.

Maddox: Our first stop will be in Japan where we will stay in Osaka, Kyoto, and Tokyo. I have studied Japanese language and culture for the last 4 years and look forward to extending my studies into a real life adventure. Our cousin, Kris, lives in Tokyo where he is an English teacher. We are excited to be able to visit him and learn from his experiences. We will also visit our Papi's friend, Chris, who also lives in Tokyo.

Micah: From Japan, we will be traveling to Samoa, our Grammy Soa's homeland. We will began our tour of Samoa in her village, Fagamalo, on the island of Savaii. I am excited to learn more about our family and culture, and look forward to meeting our aunts, uncles, and cousins. Spending time with them will be very special, and it is an opportunity I will always be grateful for.

Although our tickets and accomodations are already booked, we are looking to raise some money for our own personal expenses, such as activities, treats, and souvenirs. Please consider contributing to our high school graduation trip. It is something we will never forget!
