My Travel Story

This upcoming spring break, I have the astonishing opportunity to expand my perspective on the world. My name is Yaritza Hernandez and I am currently a junior at North High School who is truly passionate about traveling ever since I began hiking.

I am a very active student on & off campus some of the extracurricular activities that I will be able to practice on international level are Delta Epsilon Chi and Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA) where I will observe and experience firsthand marketing concepts of travel and tourism, hospitality, entertainment marking and promotion in an aboard setting. I am also able to use another language and interact with locals in France. Lastly, our school finally made it to state for our Academic Decathlon team in over a decade but I am truly excited for next year’s topic, which is World War 2! Learning an extra hour after the normal schedule is nothing especially having spent a whole year discussing this new topic goes boundless with the occasion for this voyage.

The trip offered Battlefields of Europe is a chance where I will journey different historical locations including the D-day Beaches, the Anne Frank House, the National Museum of Military, the City of Versailles and much more.

My family and I have been working extremely hard to raise funds for the trip but continue to seek donations to make this dream a reality. Once again, I would like to thank you for taking the time for allowing me to share this great opportunity with you.



Any donations supports this dream. Thanks in advance for your donation and shares too. :) :) :)



With much appreciation,

Yaritza Hernandez
