My Travel Story

by: Snigdha Paul Start Date: Nov 7, 2015 - End Date: Dec 26, 2015
Hi,
My name is Snigdha Paul, and I am studying psychology under a pre medical track in hopes to become a Physician Assistant. I got accepted to a competitive medical hospital internship through the Atlantis Project, at Cuenca, Spain. The trip is for two weeks beginning December 27th. This is a great opportunity for me because not only will it help build my resume, but will also allow me to travel to countries Europe, which anyone who knows me, knows has been a goal of mine forever. This trip is a bit costly, as the program fee is more than I can contribute. I am able to just about pay for my flight. However, it is also difficult to rely on my parents for contribution as they are already doing enough helping out with TWO college tuitions at a private university. I want to minimize the cost as much as I can for them. This is a great opportunity for me, and it would be unfortunate if I had to miss it because of financial capabilities. My mom also recently had a car accident. She now has a lot of doctor appointments and legal payments. It is tough to afford that and two college tuitions in one household. Any contribution helps.
If you were already planning on a birthday gift, any donation to this would be gladly appreciated, since this would be for my birthday month anyway, and I would really love to spend it in Europe. I would greatly appreciate any help to this fund. Anyone who knows me knows how obsessed I am with Europe especially Paris. I was never able to travel abroad on my own because of cost difficulties, I even missed out on my high school senior trip to Italy. After studying Spanish for 5 years, I would love to use my knowledge in a country where I am able to practice and use it on a daily basis. Spain is a place I would be comfortable in because of my study in Spanish and interest in the country. The Atlantis Project is a top rated program, rated 4 and 5 stars by everyone that has ever studied abroad through it. This opportunity is calling my name, and I need your help to claim it.
I also kindly ask, you leave your name, because if I am unable to raise the money, I will most likely not be attending the program and that way I can refund you. There is a link below, if you would like to know more about the specific program. It is an intense doctor shadowing program, where we can work with different doctors and get a valuable education, which will greatly benefit me for my desired career. This study abroad program accepts students from some of the most prestige, and ivy league colleges in the world. I was very lucky to be accepted amongst thousands of applicants.
Thank you for checking this out!
