My Travel Story

Hello! I am a college senior studying Global Resource Systems and Horticulture. I desire to attend the American Farm School in Greece this summer, to complete a degree requirement so I can graduate college early! I plan to work in the Horticulture Unit at Perrotis College, improving my agricultural skills, so I have a leg-up in the international agricultural world once I graduate. Perrotis College's program is vital to fulfilling my professional and personal college goals. 
If I complete this program, I will be able to graduate early and start working. I will be able to provide for my family earlier than expected, and I will have more opportunities for career positions both in and outside the United States. This is a dream of mine, but also, it's a way to make my life and my family's life easier in the long run.
I have everything to give to this program except all of my income; which is why I am asking for immediate help. Unexpected expenses have just arisen for me and I can't ignore them, but that leaves the chance for me to complete this program up in the air. 
If there is some way I can repay your donations - in terms of acknowledgment, a post on my blog, or a presentation of my internship once I return to the United States - please let me know. I would be happy to share this journey with anyone!
