My Travel Story

by: Olivia Montejano Start Date: Nov 27, 2025 - End Date: Jan 26, 2026
As a First Generation college student, I’m pursuing a dream my family never had the chance to chase. Studying abroad in Rome through the CIEE Spring 2025 program will expand my education, immerse me in a new culture, and help me grow as a leader. This experience isn’t just about travel—it’s about breaking barriers, gaining global perspectives, and inspiring others in my community. Your support helps cover mandatory program fees and housing, making this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity possible. Every contribution helps me turn my family’s sacrifices into a stepping stone for success.
