Since I was young, it's always been a goal of mine to learn a second language. Unfortunately, I've struggled with access while attending a small school. I tend to be a kinesthetic learner, which means that it is difficult for me to learn without action. I believe it would be especially beneficial to immerse myself in the Korean language and culture. I'm incredibly excited for such a unique and rewarding experience.
During Hurricane Florence, my house was flooded and damaged. Due to the extensive damage from flooding, we still deal with effects from the hurricane today. We are still paying and waiting for repairs. The cost of repairs caused a great deal of financial stress on my family. However, I was allowed to plan my trip on the condition that I can pay for it.
I have a part-time job, but working during the school year is harder than I had imagined. I've had to come to face the fact that I can't pay for this trip and flight all by myself. However, I'm terrible at giving up! It would be an amazing blessing to receive any donations towards my trip!
