How will this impact your education or career?
Traveling to Paris will provide me with invaluable exposure to a new culture and history, which will broaden my perspective and enhance my critical thinking skills. Learning about French art, architecture, and history firsthand will contribute to my education, especially in areas like cultural studies and global awareness. This experience could also inspire me to pursue a career in international relations or tourism, where such knowledge is highly beneficial.
How will you make a difference in the community?
Upon returning, I plan to share my experiences with my community, especially through storytelling, blogs, or presentations. By doing so, I aim to inspire others to value cultural diversity and pursue their dreams. Additionally, I would love to mentor young individuals, helping them realize that exploring the world can enrich their lives and bring positive change to their local communities.
Why are you passionate about this project?
This project is deeply personal to me as it connects to my family’s history and my love for exploring new cultures. My grandmother’s stories of Paris have fueled my curiosity and passion for travel. This journey is not just about seeing the Eiffel Tower; it’s about immersing myself in a place that has played a significant role in my family’s narrative, making my dream come true.
Why did you choose this destination?
I chose Paris because it holds a special place in my family’s history. My grandmother married there, and I’ve grown up listening to her vivid stories about the city’s beauty, charm, and vibrant culture. Paris represents more than a tourist destination to me—it’s a bridge to my roots and a chance to experience the magic my grandmother once lived.
What makes this meaningful for you?
This journey is meaningful because it allows me to walk in my grandmother’s footsteps and connect with a part of my family’s legacy. It’s an opportunity to bring her stories to life and honor the bond we share. By visiting Paris, I will not only fulfill a lifelong dream but also carry forward a piece of my family’s history, creating memories that I can pass on to future generations.
